The HSE advises that it is proceeding with a precautionary recall of children and young adults in CHO5 (Counties Waterford, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny and South Tipperary) for further assessment following an audit, as part of a quality assurance process.

This recall follows an analysis of the quality of service delivery in the area against the standards for such services that were set out in the National Audiology Review Group Report (2011). Since 2011, the recommendations of this Report, including clinical governance and quality assurance processes, have been the benchmark for the quality of service delivery throughout the country.
