HC Deb 16 March 1964 vol 691 c117W
59. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health why he will not make skeletal plastic ear moulds available with Medresco aids as an alternative to the present pattern, in view of the fact that the retail price quoted by a hearing aid manufacturer is the same for each type.

Mr. Braine

A correctly fitted mould of the present pattern meets the clinical needs of all patients for whom an ear insert is suitable; skeletal moulds would be more expensive to supply.
