§ Mr. PearsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish his Department's calculations of the working capital requirements for pharmacists; and what have been the changes to the calculated requirements since 1989. [19209]
§ Mr. MaloneUpdating the results of the previous cost enquiries gives a working capital for the median pharmacy of £22,533 in 1989–90 and £35,741 in 1994–95. The cost of servicing working capital is dependent on variations in interest rates.
