HC Deb 28 February 1985 vol 74 cc284-5W
Mr. Kennedy

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if arrangements, similar to those announced on 21 February regarding dispensing doctors in rural areas in the context of the proposed limited list, Official Report, column 1224, will apply in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John MacKay

In his statement on 21 February my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services indicated that regulations on the subject of limited lists prescribing would also be introduced for Scotland. The Scottish regulations will make similar provision to those for England and Wales, including the provisions relating to dispensing doctors.
