HL Deb 27 January 1982 vol 426 cc1050-1WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish, for Gartree Prison, the number of doses of medicine dispensed in 1980 in a form comparable with Table 18 of the Report of the Prison Department for 1980.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Belstead)

No. The medical services at Gartree Prison are largely provided by a single doctor and we are not prepared to publish that information about an individual doctor's prescribing practice.
