HC Deb 25 June 1980 vol 987 c166W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he still expects, in the first full year of each item prescribed, eventually costing £1 to the patient, to save £85 million.

Dr. Vaughan

The estimated income from prescription charges in 1980–81 in Great Britain is £85 million at the survey prices used for the Government's expenditure plans published in March (Cmnd. 7841). This is expected to amount to about £94 million at out-turn prices.
