UPDATE ON HSE NATIONAL POLICY.
We’ve been informed by SLIS that Caoimhe Gleeson from the HSE has put
together the final draft version of a national access policy for Deaf people
to HSE services. Thereafter, it should go through a ratification process
within the HSE.

Fingers crossed, we will see a national policy implemented in Ireland before
long. If and when we have further information, we will let you know.
