HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c326W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he last met representatives of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf to discuss audiology services.

Mr. Mellor

The most recent meeting on this subject between the Department and representatives of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf was at official level and took place on 25 November 1988. The then Minister of State for Health—my right hon. Friend the Member for Braintree (Mr. Newton)—and my hon. Friend the Minister for the Disabled met representatives of the institute on 29 June 1988 to discuss their views on audiology services.
