HC Deb 07 November 1995 vol 265 c678W
Mr. Heppell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to make(a) injector pens and (b) needles for injector pens available on the NHS for people with diabetes. [41993]

Mr. Malone

Disposable injection pens are available on general practitioner prescription and manufacturers supply reusable ones to people with diabetes through hospital diabetic clinics. There are no plans to make reusable pens and needles prescribable by GPs.
