HC Deb 17 January 2000 vol 342 c293W
Mr. David Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will provide free eye tests and prescriptions for the disabled. [105162]

Mr. Hutton

The extensive exemption and remission arrangements mean that many disabled people in England are entitled to free prescriptions and sight tests. Similar arrangements exist elsewhere in the United Kingdom but are now a matter for the devolved Administrations.
