HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 c1W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of drugs used by children are available in a sugar-free form.

Mr. Sackville

This information is not available in the form requested.

In respect of oral liquid medicines, records held by the United Kingdom Licensing Authority show that 1,797 products are currently licensed for human use but not all of these would be indicated for use in children. Within these 1,797 licensed products, 218 are sugar free.
