National Audiology Review Seeks Service Feedback

By admin | March 8, 2010

Ireland’s audiology service raises serious concerns, according to reports in the national press – and forum members on the irishdeafkids.ie website.

March 19th is the deadline for having your say on this essential issue.

The National Audiology Review is looking for parents, carers and service users to inform the HSE of their concerns and experiences with the service.

Simply send a letter to the NAR, outlining your experiences, what changes you would like to see in your area and tell them your story, highlighting the issues you have encountered.

This is your opportunity as a carer to have your say so it is vital to write down your opinions and send them off.  Some pointers:

• What would you change about audiology services in your area?
• What needs to be done to achieve this?
• Do you find waiting times too long?
• What are your thoughts on newborn hearing screening?
• Are you happy with the availability and quality of information?

This opportunity will not arise again and things will not change if the HSE do not know about the experiences of parents/ carers/ service users.

The closing date for submissions is March 19 so don’t delay.

Please take this opportunity to put your thoughts on paper and submit them.

Submissions to the expert group are invited from members of the public, other interested stakeholders and/or local advocate groups on this Review.

Submissions may be emailed to primarycare@hse.ie or posted to:

National Primary Care Services Manager

National Primary Care Services Office

Merlin Park Hospital

Galway.
