HC Deb 06 May 1948 vol 450 c1455
65. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Health what provision he intends to make for persons who find the Government Medresco aid unsuitable for their form of deafness.

Mr. Bevan

The Electro-acoustics Committee of the Medical Research Council is planning research in connection with a hearing aid for the very small proportion of patients for whom the Medresco aid is found not wholly suitable.

Mr. Erroll

Will the Minister consider giving a grant-in-aid towards the purchase of a suitable commercial instrument, as is being done with certain other services under the new health scheme?

Mr. Bevan

No, Sir.
