HC Deb 08 February 1965 vol 706 c6W
65. Mr. Varley

asked the Minister of Health what is the length of time a person must wait between the initial examination and subsequent fitting of a hearing aid appliance within the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board area.

Mr. K. Robinson

Generally between five and eight weeks, except at the Royal Hospital, Sheffield where there is an exceptionally long waiting list at present, involving a wait of fourteen to fifteen weeks. Arrangements are being made to reduce the delay at this hospital.
