Mr. Fletcherasked the Minister of Health why citizens of Darlington who have been issued with a deaf aid have to travel to Middlesbrough for repairs; and whether he will establish a repair section at Darlington.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI understand that travelling is not normally necessary because the Middlesbrough hearing aid centre operates a postal repair service. Patients can borrow aids from the Darlington Memorial Hospital while their own instruments are being repaired.
