HC Deb 23 January 1984 vol 52 c442W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consult the British Diabetic Association and the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain concerning the desirability of making blood glucose-monitoring equipment available to patients on prescription form FP10.

Mr. John Patten

No. If blood glucose-monitoring equipment is considered clinically essential for a particular diabetic patient, it may be provided through the hospital service.
