My Department provides facilities e.g. a hearing loop, to facilitate visitors to the Department who have a hearing disability and is also in a position to provide handsets with enhanced hearing for visitors or staff with hearing disabilities.

The Department, however, does not provide facilities for those who wish to phone the Department. If this has created any specific difficulty, the Department would be happy to try to rectify that and I would welcome any information that the Deputy might be able to provide in this regard.
