HC Deb 20 November 1967 vol 754 c243W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health if he will circularise local health authorities recommending them to accept responsibility for the payment of repair and service charges to a commercial hearing aid in cases where the education department has accepted such responsibility up to the time of leaving school and a Medresco aid has proved inadequate subsequently.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. I do not think there are grounds for any general recommendation to local health authorities to accept this responsibility.
