§ 131. Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Health if he will investigate the circumstances in which Mr. H. Fellows, 2, Courtlands, Bocking, Braintree, after long delay, has been supplied with two pairs of glasses, both unsatisfactory; if he has considered the letter, forwarded to him by the hon. Member for Maldon, indicating negligence on the part of the opticians concerned; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevanThe Regulations provide for the investigation of complaints by the Ophthalmic Services Committee and I obviously cannot comment on a case which might ultimately come before me on appeal.
§ Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Health if he will expedite the supply of glasses to Mrs. Tansley, of Sunnyside, Sea view Promenade, Steeple Stone, near Southminster, Essex, whose eyes were tested by Mr. Loveday, of Maldon, on 6th July, 1949; and if he will state the reasons for this delay.
§ Mr. BevanI understand that Mrs. Tansley should receive her glasses shortly. She needs bifocals which cannot be supplied quickly.
