HC Deb 03 December 1985 vol 88 c199W
Mr. Allen Adams

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the drug Orovite has been withdrawn from National Health Service prescriptions in Scotland.

Mr. John MacKay

Orovite vitamin products are no longer available at NHS expense because the expert medical panel which drew up the selected list considered that it was clinically unnecessary to include them on the list. A wide range of vitamin preparations is still available on NHS prescription.
