§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will carry out a study on prescribing methods and frequency, to seek to find out whether a reduction of the burden on general practitioners is having a detrimental effect upon the viability and in many instances the continuing in existence of rural chemists.
§ Dr. VaughanI do not consider that such a study would serve the purpose that the hon. Member appears to have in mind.
