Question 240: To ask the Minister for Health if he will ensure that hearing aid providers deliver adequate follow up services to patients who have purchased expensive hearing aids; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13146/12]

Follow up services for patients who have purchased hearing aids from a private provider is a matter of private contract between the hearing aid providers and the patients. While I have no role in relation to this matter, I would expect that private hearing aid providers would provide the necessary follow up and repair and maintenance service for their patients.
