Audiology: Waiting Lists
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce waiting lists for audiology assessments.
Answered by Karin Smyth
NHS England is supporting provider organisations and integrated care boards, who are the commissioners of audiology services, to improve performance and reduce waiting lists. This includes capital investment to upgrade audiology facilities in National Health Service trusts, expanding audiology testing capacity via community diagnostic centres, and direct support through a national audiology improvement collaborative.
