HC Deb 19 June 1980 vol 986 c638W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how often in the past three years the Committee on Safety of Medicines has refused a licence for a drug because it was dissatisfied with the information contained in the data sheet of the manufacturer;

(2) if the Committee on Safety of Medicines will make routine checks on the information contained in the data sheets issued by drug manufacturers about their products to ensure that the information is accurate and up-to-date;

(3) if the Committee on Safety of Medicines will as a matter of urgency review the data sheets issued by drug manufacturers about their products in order to ensure that there is complete, accurate and up-to-date information contained in them about drug over-dosage.

Dr. Vaughan

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
