HC Deb 22 July 1985 vol 83 c401W
Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if his Department is to hold a survey to find out what has been the effect on people of his policy of a limited National Health Service drugs list.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We can see no need for such a survey.

Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will ask the review committee on the limited list to examine restoring Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) to the list.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The recently established Advisory Committee on National Health Service Drugs will be free to reconsider at any time the need for Rohypnol, either on its own initiative or in response to representations from doctors or the manufacturers. No formal representations have yet been made about this drug.
