§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what information his Department collects on cases in which one or more items on a prescription are 128W not supplied by the pharmacist, at the request of the patient, due to his or her inability to pay the charge for all the items on the prescription.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo such information is collected. The arrangements for prescription charge exemption ensure no one need be deprived of necessary medication on financial grounds.
