28. Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will arrange for priority in the supply of spectacles under the National Health Service scheme to persons who have only one eye.
§ Mr. WoodburnWhile such cases would not automatically obtain priority this condition would certainly be a factor in assessing the need for priority in any particular case.
Lieut.-Commander HutchisonWould not the right hon. Gentleman agree that there is a very good case for introducing priority in cases of this kind?
§ Mr. WoodburnAs the hon. and galland Gentleman knows very well, there are some people who can see more with one eye than other people can with two.
