HC Deb 30 March 1971 vol 814 cc348-9W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many examples of the Edinburgh design of pneumatically powered arm have been fitted to children for trial purposes and for home use; and how many are expected to be fitted during 1971.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

One hundred and sixty-seven arms on 20 children as the continuing development of the arm and the growth of the children lead to refittings. A further 39 arms are expected to be fitted this year. All arms fitted are for home use but may later be modified to meet the needs of the child more appropriately.
