Request and Response
  1. In your health board what is the average age for children being diagnosed with hearing issues and how many referrals have been received in each of the last twenty years?

With regards to the average age of children being diagnosed with hearing issues in accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested.

Pre 2015 data is incomplete and so we cannot be confident that the figures for 2004 – 2014 are accurate.
