HC Deb 10 July 1984 vol 63 c475W
56. Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has plans to include further items necessary to the treatment of diabetes mellitus on the drug tariff.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We have no such plans at present. The appliances and chemical reagents currently listed in the drug tariff meet the needs of most diabetic patients. If an unlisted item is necessary for a particular patient, it may be supplied on the NHS through the hospital services.
