HC Deb 12 April 1994 vol 241 c156W
Mr. Hanson

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will review the exclusion from payments by the social fund with respect to medical, surgical, optical, oral or dental items.

Mr. Hague

The social fund does not provide for these items which are primarily the responsibility of the national health service. There are no plans to review the current arrangements.
