HL Deb 16 July 1998 vol 592 c55WA
Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are satisfied that there is no discrimination between treatments for conditions which affect predominantly those under 65, and those which affect predominantly those over 65, within health authority guidelines in the prescription of medicines; and whether they would take action on this issue if examples of discrimination were brought to their attention. [HL2671]

Baroness Jay of Paddington

We have no evidence that such discrimination exists.
