§ Mr. BlunkettTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations she has received with regard to the Government's proposals to expand the selected list prescribing system; and when she expects to make a full statement on those specific drugs to be added to the selected list.
§ Dr. MawhinneyWe have received a number of representations about the extension of the selected list scheme from hon. Members, various organisations and members of the public. The timing of announcements about specific products in the new categories will depend on the future work programme of the advisory committee on national health service drugs, which I understand that the committee will be considering shortly.
