HC Deb 28 February 1983 vol 38 c15W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what evidence he has of the extent to which unqualified persons may be prescribing drugs or operating on patients in the private sector of medicine; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

None, though I am aware of recent press reports of a person who, though not holding a medical qualification, prescribed drugs and carried out operations.
