195. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health the position regarding bilateral cochlear implants in respect of a person (details supplied). [4785/13]
View answerI am advised that Beaumont Hospital carried out over ninety cochlear implants in 2012 and that over seven hundred patients are currently under the care of the hospital programme which provides rehabilitation and programming on a recurring basis. In relation to the specific query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service issue it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
