HC Deb 14 November 1960 vol 630 c5W
59. Mr. Stones

asked the Minister of Health what categories of persons, other than school children and war-pensioners, are now being supplied with transistor hearing aids; and what is the number of these appliances which have been issued to such persons.

Miss Pitt

On the first part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer given on 23rd May last to my hon. Friend the Member for Bristol, North-West (Mr. McLaren), of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. By the end of October approximately 30,000 transistor aids had been supplied to adults, including war pensioners.
