HC Deb 22 November 1983 vol 49 c112W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of the fact that many drugs of practically equal purpose and efficacy exist, he has any plans to introduce a list of drugs prescribable by doctors.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. We are not convinced that such a list confining the judgment of doctors would be in the best interests of patients.
