HC Deb 15 January 1987 vol 108 c303W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make disposable needles and syringes available to diabetics.

Mrs. Currie

If disposable needles and syringes are considered necessary for a patient's treatment, they may be supplied through the hospital service. The possibility of making them available on general practitioners' prescription is under review.
