HC Deb 15 March 1995 vol 256 c611W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what provision he has made in the market testing of the prescription pricing service of the Welsh Health Common Services Authority for the administration of prescriptions dispensed through the medium of Welsh.

Mr. Redwood

The British national formulary advises that the professional communication between prescriber and dispenser should be in English. However, I would expect the Welsh Health Common Services Authority to include, in its specification for the market testing of prescription pricing services, a reference to the possibility that some prescriptions might contain an element of Welsh.
