§ Major Beamishasked the Minister of Health what instructions he has issued to the various executive councils of ophthalmic services committees regarding the repair of spectacles which are damaged by being dropped; and how decisions are 124W reached as to whether or not the damage was due to carelessness.
§ Mr. BevanI have advised the committees to admit claims for the repair of damaged spectacles only where they are satisfied that the damage was due to circumstances outside the owner's control, for example, where he has been involved in some accident. Claims are considered individually.
