§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what research she has done into the medical effects to women of restricting the prescription of the oral contraception pill to the cheaper varieties.
§ Mr. SackvilleIn advising the Health Departments on which contraceptives should not be available for prescription under the national health service, the advisory committee on NHS drugs will be required to ensure that all clinical need can be provided as economically as possible. In formulating its advice, I would expect the committee to have regard to the findings of relevant research.
