Clause 4 - Personal medical services, personal dental services and local pharmaceutical services
NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Oliver Heald (North East Hertfordshire, Conservative)
What an extraordinary thing. We are here with a Minister of State in the Department of Health, the Under-Secretary of State for Wales and an army of civil servants, but we cannot be told what a certain body does when we are considering a clause that mentions ''local pharmaceutical services'' in its title. The Minister of State tells us that pharmaceutical services have been set up under legislation that applies to England and Wales. We have set aside time this afternoon specifically to consider the situation in Wales because we accept that it is important, yet neither Minister knows what the all-Wales medicine strategy group does.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 4, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
