HC Deb 18 July 1955 vol 544 c3W
29. Mrs. Braddock

asked the Minister of Health when the new model Monopak, No. OL 44X, hearing aid for children will be made available; and how many will be necessary to meet current requirements.

Mr. Iain Macleod

If the report on the present trials which I expect very shortly is favourable, distribution should start next summer. The number of children needing aids is not precisely known, but they will receive priority when supplies are available.
