§ Miss Boothroydasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, whether he will publish in the Official Report the list of drugs, both brand named and generic, supplied to the National Health Service, together with the price levels charged by the pharmaceutical companies.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeNo. Several thousand different drugs and presentations are available to be prescribed for use in the National Health Service. The price of most drugs supplied through the Family Practitioner Services is given in the "Chemist and Druggist" Price List, a copy of which is in the Library. NHS hospitals buying under contract pay somewhat less than this.
