HC Deb 01 March 1982 vol 19 cc48-9W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if it is proposed that district health authorities should appoint a district phamaceutical officer; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Vaughan

In our policy circular on the structure and management of the National Health Service (HC(80)8) we have made it quite clear that it is for each district health authority to decide whether to appoint a district phamaceutical officer.
