HC Deb 16 June 1969 vol 785 c18W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received from the organisers of the National Campaign for the Young Chronic Sick regarding the increased National Health Service charges; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Crossman

The Secretary of the National Campaign for the Young Chronic Sick wrote to me on 9th May criticising the proposed increase in existing charges for dentures and lenses; her letter was acknowledged and I have since explained to her that I do not believe the small increases which have been proposed would be likely to bear heavily on the unfortunate young people in whom she is so rightly interested.
