§ 29. Mr. D. Jonesasked the Minister of Health what progress is being made with the distribution of transistor hearing 3W aids for children of school age, particularly in the north-eastern counties of England.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithThe first supply of these aids will be issued to hearing aid centres this week, including those centres in the north-east. I have suggested that young children should be given priority, but issue to schoolchildren will follow thereafter.
