HC Deb 18 April 1978 vol 948 cc86-7W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the additional charge to parents of toughened or laminated glass lenses for children with a visual disability.

Mr. Moyle

The hospital and school eye service can supply toughened or laminated glass lenses free of charge when they are prescribed as clinically necessary. Under the general ophthalmic services they are available at an additional charge to the patient of £2.23 per lens for single vision lenses and £3.10 per lens for bifocal lenses.
