USE OF DRUGS
MINISTER URGES ECONOMY (P A.) WELLINGTON, Friday The need for conserving drug supplies was referred to by the Minister of Health, Mr. Nordmeyer, when announcing that a national formulary prepared by the Health Department with the co-operation of the British Medical Association had now been published. Copies are being forwarded to all doctors, proprietors of pharmacies and senior medical students. Mr. Nordmeyer said the aim of the formulary was to encourage doctors to be sparing in the use of drugs in short supply and to reserve these drugs for cases in which their use was essential. He emphasised, however, that the formulary did not impose any restriction on drugs which doctors might prescribe. The Minister said he would like to make public acknowledgment of the assistance given by many doctors, particularly Dr. E. W. Giesen, and Professor F. H. Smirk, in the detailed selection and arrangement of formulae.
