HC Deb 16 December 1955 vol 547 c230W
Mr. Mitchison

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the invalid chair ultimately delivered to Miss Pridmore, Church Street, Wilbarston, Northamptonshire, proved to be faulty and not of the right measurements; and whether he will now take steps to secure the delivery of a suitable chair with the minimum delay and to prevent the recurrence of delay and errors in future deliveries of such chairs.

Mr. Iain Macleod

My information is that the chair was not faulty and conformed to the specification. To overcome the patient's fear of falling, however, a further modification has been made to the seat, and I understand that the chair is being returned to Miss Pridmore today.
