Deaf Community Questionnaire about Hospitals – GP services – Dental services

Healthwatch is investigating the issues that the Deaf community in Knowsley, St. Helens and Sefton are experiencing with Hospital access. We particularly wish to know if hospital appointments have been disrupted or lost due to communication issues for deaf people. The survey also extends this theme of communication difficulty to other health appointments such as with GP’s and dentists.

If you need help completing the form, for example if you need to be supported in British Sign Language you can contact:
