FREE PRESCRIPTIONS
Wider Range Suggested By Holland A suggestion that prescriptions embodying drugs other than those included in the. British Pharmacopoeia should be made available free of charge to the public was advanced by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Holland, during consideration of the Social Security vote. Mr. Holland said it was not a patient’s fault if his doctor prescribed for him drugs not included on the free list. He was probably suffering as much as a person who was getting free medicine, and moreover he was having to pay twice, because he had to find an equal amount in tax, and they pay for his medicine as well.
