Major Hicks Beachasked the Minister of Health how the waiting period for hearing aids in the Cheltenham area compares with the rest of the country.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe waiting period varies in different areas, but patients from the Cheltenham area now being supplied with their aids are among those whose wait is longer than normal. I am at present considering what can best be done to shorten the period here and in other similar areas.
