Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services when his Department last compiled a list of hearing aid centres; when he next intends to compile such a list; and if he will make a statement.

The Department last compiled a list of hearing aid centres in 1985. The procurement and distribution of National Health Service hearing aids is now administered by Mersey regional health authority which keeps its own list of centres.
