Mr. Todd

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients are recorded as having been prescribed beta interferon through the NHS for the latest period for which data is available. [91876]

The information requested is not available. Beta interferon is mainly prescribed and dispensed within hospitals. Hospital dispensing data, and the number of patients for whom drugs are prescribed, are not held centrally.
