Audrey Wise: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prescriptions for benzodiazepine drugs were issued by the Prison Medical Service in 1996. [40455] Mr. George Howarth: The information sought could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. There is pharmacy information relating to a sample of prisons. However, it is not possible to disaggregate these data reliably to estimate the number of benzodiazepine prescriptions. A specific survey would be needed involving a representative sample of prisons.
