Hearing Aids

93.

Mr. Osborne
asked the Minister of Health why there has been delay in providing a hearing aid for Mrs. L. Hutton of 44 Fairway, Waltham, near Grimsby, who was examined on 25th November, 1948, in Lincoln Hospital, and  recommended for an aid, but who can get no advice as to when this will be available.

Mr. Bevan
I am informed that the delay has been due to a misunderstanding, but arrangements have been made for Mrs. Hutton to be given an immediate appointment.
