HL Deb 09 March 1988 vol 494 c792WA
The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the transfer of some family planning services from district health authority budgets to family practitioner committee budgets is economic.

Lord Skelmersdale

Figures are not available to allow the two services to be costed on a comparable basis. Government policy remains that those who require family planning services should be free to choose their source of advice.
