HC Deb 13 July 1987 vol 119 c378W
Mr. Bill Michie

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received from community pharmacists in Sheffield and nationally requesting an increase in advance payment to take account of the cashflow problems being caused by the non-processing of claims for refund of value added tax.

Mr. Newton

In addition to a number of representations from the Sheffield local pharmaceutical committee, we have received representations from the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee, three family practitioner committees and five pharmacists.
