Mr. Michael
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many times regulation 16 of the Service Committee and Tribunal Regulations has been invoked in respect of (a) excessive prescribing and (b) under-prescribing by each family practitioner committee in each of the past five years for which figures are available.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley
Regulation 16 of the Service Committee and Tribunal Regulations has not been invoked in England in the past five years. Regulation 16 concerns excessive prescribing only and not under-prescribing.
