HC Deb 23 June 1982 vol 26 c122W
Mr. Haynes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report details of the size of the waiting lists for hearing aid services at Kings Mill hospital, Sutton in Ashfield, and the hearing aid centre, Nottingham, for the past three years.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Information is not held centrally on the size of the waiting lists for hearing aid services at either the Nottingham hearing aid centre or at Kings Mill hospital, Sutton in Ashfield.

Mr. Haynes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in order to reduce the waiting time, he will consider improving the hearing aid services at Kings Mill hospital, Sutton in Ashfield.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The provision of services, including hearing aids at the Kings Mill hospital, Sutton in Ashfield, is entirely a matter for the Central Nottinghamshire health authority.
