HC Deb 22 February 1960 vol 618 c20
31. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Health if he will explain the item entitled, "Shortfall in payments by patients, shown in subhead I, Supplementary Ophthalmic Services", of the Supplementary Estimate for the National Health Service, England and Wales.

Mr. Walker-Smith

Payments by patients for the supply of glasses are expected to fall short of the original Estimate because fewer glasses are being supplied than was anticipated.
