Hello..... The last reply I received from NICE basically told me they have no idea of any dates when anything is starting. With feedback from others who are approaching them they have had the same kind of response. I'm aware that the Election has put many issues on hold. Pàdraig Kitterick presented information on the Cochlear Implant candidacy results at the NCIUA meeting on the 3rd June. On the Facebook pages Cochlear Implant petition and Cochlear Implant UK help and support, I have posted some photos of the slides. You can also see them on my twitter page @dleeb666. This webpage will also be updated shortly - www.cicandidacy.co.uk Excellent news that Jim Fitzpatrick has been re elected as an MP and I hope he continues to be the Chair for the APPG on deafness. I have gone through the list of MP's for the APPG on deafness and there has been some change in MP's. Obviously it was the individuals who where members of the group, not the constituency so newly elected MP's may have no interest in this group. I will update further when I know more. In the meantime this is the list showing who has been re - elected and who has been replaced etc. APPG MEMBERS - updated 11th June CHAIR - Jim Fitzpatrick MP - Poplar & Limehouse - re - elected jim.fitzpatrick.mp@parliament.uk Stephen Lloyd MP - Eastbourne & Willingdon stephen.lloyd.mp@parliament.uk replaces Caroline Ansell Liz Twist MP - Blaydon liz.twist.mp@parliament.uk replaces David Anderson Eddie Hughes MP Walsall North eddie.hughes.mp@parliament.uk replaces David Winnick Debbie Abrahams MP - Oldham East & Saddleworth - re - elected abrahamsd@parliament.uk David Dugoid MP - Banff & Buchan david.duguid.mp@parliament.uk replaces Eilidh Whiteford Ian Mearns MP - Gateshead - re - elected ian.mearns.mp@parliament.uk John McDonnell MP - Hayes & Harlington - re - elected john.mcdonnell.mp@parliament.uk Kate Green MP - Stretford & Urmston - re - elected kate.green.mp@parliament.uk Lilian Greenwood MP - Nottingham South - re - elected lilian.greenwood.2nd@parliament.uk Luciana Berger MP - Liverpool Wavertree - re - elected luciana.berger.mp@parliament.uk Madeleine Moon MP - Bridgend - re - elected moonm@parliament.uk David Drew MP - Stroud david.drew.mp@parliament.uk replaces Neil Carmichael Nigel Dodds MP - North Belfast - re - elected nigel.dodds.mp@parliament.uk Peter Aldous MP - Waveney - re - elected peter.aldous.mp@parliament.uk Roger Godsiff MP - Birmingham Hall Green - re - elected roger.godsiff.mp@parliament.uk Rosie Cooper MP - West Lancashire - re - elected rosie.cooper.mp@parliament.uk Ruth Smeeth MP - Stoke on Trent North - re - elected ruth.smeeth.mp@parliament.uk Afzal Khan MP - Gorton, Manchester afzal.khan.mp@parliament.uk replaces Sir Gerald Kaufman Sir Peter Bottomley MP - Worthing West - re - elected peter.bottomley.mp@parliament.uk Andrew Bowie MP - West Aberdeenshire & Kincardine andrew.bowie.mp@parliament.uk replaces Stuart Donaldson Teresa Pearce MP - Erith & Thamesmead - re - elected teresa.pearce.mp@parliament.uk Tommy Sheppard MP - Edinburgh East - re - elected tommy.sheppard.mp@parliament.uk Marie Rimmer MP - St Helens South & Whiston - re - elected marie.rimmer.mp@parliament.uk There is a Lets Listen event by Hearing Link on the 6th July in London. www.hearinglink.org/get-involved/lets-listen-2017 This is £15 to members.
