§ 21. Mr. Edward Evansasked the Minister of Health how far the clinical trials of the Monopack Medresco Hearing Aid have progressed and with what success; whether he is aware of the need for these for young children particularly; and if he will make a statement as to when these will become available to supply the needs of partially deaf and hard-of-hearing children of school age.
§ Mr. TurtonI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 6th February to my hon. Friend the Member for Wythenshawe (Mrs. Hill), in which I indicated my intention not to proceed with the production of the valve monopack aids, but to await the development of transistor aids.
