HC Deb 26 July 1983 vol 46 c411W
34. Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has any further plans to extend the range of spectacle frames available on National Health Service prescriptions.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I regard the introduction this month of a new frame for ladies as only a first step in updating the National Health Service range and so improving the overall choice for patients. I hope to make further progress on this, and the next step could be to improve the range of National Health Service frames available for children.
