asked the Minister of Health what reports he has received of the value of the Medresco Aid provided for deaf people under the National Health scheme.

Most reports are made to the hospitals concerned. I have, however, received a number from patients, some critical and for the most part appreciative. Patients who have had long experience of other aids testify to the superiority of the Medresco not only in ordinary conversation, but in business, traffic, meetings, theatres, etc.
