§ Mr. Wardasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will review 16W the forms of contract between the National Health Service and opticians to require that where spectacle frames are available under the NHS they are displayed in a proper manner affording a real choice to users of the service.
§ Mr. MoyleAs I stated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Garston (Mr. Loyden) on 14th December last, my Department has asked opticians, through their professional organisations, to display and stock examples of the full range of NHS spectacle frames. Following the Price Commission's recommendations in its report on the Prices of Private Spectacles and Contact Lenses, I am considering what further might be done in this matter.—[Vol. 922, c.633–4.]
