Mr. Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received in the last six months regarding the
provision of free NHS spectacles for younger children; and what plans he has to improve the availability and range of such
spectacles. [2700]
Mr. Malone: All children under 16 are entitled to national health service spectacle vouchers which their parents can use to buy a
pair of spectacles outright or, alternatively, top-up to buy a more expensive pair. In the last six months I have received
representations from two parents who elected to top-up the value of the voucher when buying their children spectacles.
