HC Deb 23 June 1952 vol 502 c145W
Major Hicks Beach

asked the Minister of Health how the waiting period for hearing aids in the Cheltenham area compares with the rest of the country.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The waiting period varies in different areas, but patients from the Cheltenham area now being supplied with their aids are among those whose wait is longer than normal. I am at present considering what can best be done to shorten the period here and in other similar areas.
