HC Deb 03 June 1991 vol 192 c63W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much has been specifically provided to general practitioners for them to supply condoms to at-risk patients in relation to family planning and the spread of AIDS; and if he will indicate their areas.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

There is no provision for general practitioners to prescribe condoms. District health authorities, where they perceive a local need, are able to supply condoms to local GPs for free distribution to any patient, if this is thought desirable. Condoms are also available without charge at family planning clinics.
