HC Deb 18 May 1988 vol 133 c498W
Mr. Wood

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has any plans to make new wound care products available on prescription.

Mr. Newton

In the White Paper "Promoting Better Health" published on 26 November 1987, the Government announced that a new range of wound care products would be made available on prescription. I am pleased to say that two of these new products, Granuflex and Sorbsan dressings, will be available on prescription from 1 July 1988.
