§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what advice his Department gives to doctors on the drugs which are suitable for prescribing to newly born children; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. VaughanThe treatment of individual patients is for the clinical judgment of the doctors concerned. It would be inappropriate for the Department to offer guidance on the suitability of particular drugs in the treatment of new born babies. Information on individual drugs is available to prescribers in the data sheets circulated by the producers.
