HC Deb 09 July 1953 vol 517 c105W
67. Mr. Dudley Williams

asked the Minister of Health the waiting period for hearing aids in Exeter; and how this compares with October, 1951.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Priority patients at Exeter are now being provided with their aids immediately and non-priority patients within a few weeks of application. In October, 1951, the waiting period was about two years.
