The preparation concerned was removed from re-imbursement under the GMS on 1 October 1982. The Eastern Health Board decided to make it available to the person named, by giving her an order on her local pharmacist for three months supply. The order will be renewed if required.

It would not be necessary for her, in this event, to travel to the health centre.
