I am aware of the work done by the cochlear implant programme at Beaumont Hospital. I had the pleasure of visiting Beaumont Hospital recently and also met with the director of the programme. I can assure the Deputy that the future development of the programme in under active consideration by the Health Service Executive. My Department is advised that the former Eastern Regional Health Authority wrote to the Deputy in November 2004 in response to his question of 5 October, advising him of the position at that time with regard to the programme.
