HC Deb 21 February 1989 vol 147 c607W
57. Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what initiatives he plans to improve the legibility of danger warnings on drugs and medicines.

Mr. Freeman

All medicines must be treated with respect. The Medicines (Labelling) Regulations already require clarity, legibility, and ready discernibility to purchaser or user. We are now considering comments on proposals we made last year to promote safer use of medicines by, amongst other things, label warnings which would be better understood by the public.
