HC Deb 20 April 1990 vol 170 cc1044-5W
Mr. Shersby

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he intends to issue guidelines on the operation of indicative drug budgets; and whether he has any modifications to propose to the proposals originally outlined in the White Paper.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

We intend to publish in May a further working paper on the operation of indicative prescribing budgets. The working paper will set out details of the development of our proposals since the White Paper was published.
