Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Development of a National Hearing Care Plan: Chime

Mr. Mark Byrne:

Mr. Lennon probably has a greater history with this aspect than I do, but certainly more than 20,000 people are on the waiting list now. Broadly, half these people are adults and the other half are children. The figure was as high as almost 23,000 about 15 to 18 months ago. In the time we have been campaigning, the number has generally been consistently in and around the 20,000 mark for several years now.
