HC Deb 14 December 1949 vol 470 c276W
Commander Noble

asked the Minister of Health whether he will make retrospective the arrangements by which urgent cases who were prescribed spectacles after the middle of April may obtain them quickly.

Mr. Bevan

These arrangements have been made by the optical trade but I understand that in individual cases of special urgency they can be applied retrospectively. It is for the optician to apply for priority in any particular case.
