§ Mr. David Atkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received on the inclusion of ethoheptazine-citrate on the limited list of drugs; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NewtonI understand that there is at present no single ingredient preparation of ethoheptazine-citrate being marketed in the United Kingdom. We have received representations about the one proprietary combination product on the market which contains ethoheptazine-citrate amongst its ingredients. We accepted the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on National Health Service Drugs that there was no clinical need for this combination product to be available for prescription under the National Health Service.
