HC Deb 11 May 1993 vol 224 c389W
Mr. Jon Owen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make it her policy to provide free NHS eye tests to all deaf and hard of hearing people; and if she will make it her policy to subsidise the cost of glasses for this group of people.

Dr. Mawhinney

There are no plans to extend the rules of entitlement to free national health service sight tests and to vouchers to cover the costs of glasses to this group.
