This question was answered on 11th September 2014
Data on how much the National Health Service has spent on specialist assessment and diagnosis services for deaf people including British sign language users with dementia is not available. However the NHS is advised that it is good clinical practice to take into account a person’s general health, including their hearing, when people are investigated and treated for dementia.
