HC Deb 21 June 1985 vol 81 cc256-7W
Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many representations he has now received in relation to the exclusion of the drug mucodyne from the National Health Service prescribing list.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We have received more than 300 letters about the drug mucodyne and other oral mucolytics. The exact number could be established only at disproportionate cost.

We are making arrangements for the committee which will review the selected list to consider these drugs at its first meeting. We will announce details of the committee soon.
