Calculated as the average of the contact costs for physiotherapy, speech therapy, audiology, dietician and radiography.
As a consequence, such persons may receive no adjustment or accommodation from interlocutors or persons providing speech pathology or audiology services.
In most cases audiology tests were only performed in patients where, in the consultant's opinion the patient maintained some level of functional hearing.
There are no plans, at this time, to set national standards for waiting times for audiology services.
We do not collect waiting times centrally for non-consultant led specialities such as audiology.
I know, too, that the audiology professions are working together to look at different ways in which to develop common career pathways.
There is another important role for audiology departments in helping to raise awareness of hearing impairment.
I have no evidence to suggest that there is a general shortage of student audiology technicians, although there are no doubt difficulties in some localities.
