The National Joint Committee of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Professions on the Dispensing of NHS Prescriptions in Rural Areas, more commonly known as the Clothier Committee, was established in 1975, under the chairmanship of Mr C M Clothier QC, to find a solution to disputes between doctors and pharmacists over rural dispensing. The Clothier Report, published in 1977, proposed regulation of changes to rural dispensing arrangements and approval by a representative body. This subsequently led to the establishment of the Rural Dispensing Committee in 1983.
