§ Mr. Murphyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what publicity is given to the provision of prescriptions exempted from payment.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeSome three million copies of a combined leaflet and claim form "NHS prescriptions—how to get them free" are printed each year and distributed to doctors' surgeries, pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, post offices and local social security offices. These leaflets are backed up by a less detailed poster distributed on the same basis. Details of the exemption arrangements are also given on the back of each prescription form.
