HC Deb 17 March 1993 vol 221 c303W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many new products have been developed in the therapeutic categories already on the limited list.

Dr. Mawhinney

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Moray (Mrs. Ewing) on 9 February at column617.

Mrs. Lait

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will place in the Library a list of the names of each product in each of the 10 therapeutic categories to be included in the selected list.

Dr. Mawhinney

Decisions on which products are to be added to schedule 10 of the National Health Service (General Medical Services) Regulations 1992, which are no longer prescribable under the NHS, will based on the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on NHS Drugs. I understand that the committee has not yet decided which products it will be formally considering in each of the ten new therapeutic categories.
