Mr. Brendan Lennon:

To be fair, our understanding and experience in that area is that in the case of people under the age of 18, the HSE is providing those services. Young people with additional needs are well assessed for issues such as hearing loss over the period. In the main, that is our experience. It could be that some people may have a profound intellectual disability and audiological assessment might be very difficult, but we are not aware that that is common, by any means. Our sense is that is well taken care of and provided for by the HSE.
