asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will take immediate steps to ensure that repair facilities for NHS hearing aids are readily available each day of the working week in the Colwyn Bay area.

I understand that at present the centre provides facilities for urgent repair each day of the working week but specifically sets aside Monday morning and Friday afternoon to deal with callers whose hearing aids require attention. A postal service is available for patients who cannot attend personally. We shall have further inquiries made and write to the hon. Member who has written to my right hon. and learned Friend about a specific case.
