HC Deb 04 July 1955 vol 543 c66W
59. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Minister of Health what is the normal time required by the London Ophthalmic Executive Council of the National Health Service to return to patients the forms completed at the time of examination.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

Where the applicant lives in the County of London, glasses are normally approved within four days of the receipt of the form. This takes longer where he lives outside the county and it is necessary to consult the committee for another area.
