§ 15. Mr. K. Robinsonasked the Minister of Health how many persons are on the waiting lists for the bone-conduction type of hearing aid; when he expects the present trials to be completed; whether results, to date, are satisfactory; and when he expects to begin general distribution of these appliances.
§ Mr. CrookshankAbout 4,000 patients are on the waiting lists for this type of aid. Preliminary reports on the experimental model now undergoing trial are satisfactory, and although no date can yet be given I hope that it will soon be possible to authorise large-scale production and distribution.
