Hello, thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, tweeted etc, please continue to spread the word. I've had a further response from Jeremy Hunt's office, they stated that they had also replied on behalf of Justine Greening's office. Unfortunately they have failed to answer any questions and ignored my comments re lipreading and BSL support. I have contacted Justine again asking for further clarification. I am waiting for my MP to receive her response from her letter (5th January) to Jeremy Hunt's office before I contact his office again. I have requested that the petition is submitted for the agenda for next meeting with the APPG. I have received a response that this will be put forward, however there is still no date set for the next meeting. Please continue to spread the word and if possible contact your MP and try to get them on board ready for this to be debated. I have set up a facebook page to share information on this petition and also help anyone with queries on criteria etc. https://www.facebook.com/cochlearimplantpetiitonNICE/ Please also see the Ear Foundation report .....
