Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer on 12 June 2019 to Question 260081, whether his Department will require Clinical Commissioning Groups to collect and publish data in a comparable form on (a) the amount spent on audiology services, (b) the number of hearing aids fitted and (c) outcomes of hearing aid fittings.

Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for the collection and collation of audiology data to enable them to manage regional needs. NHS England has no plans to mandate CCGs to collect or publish their data in a comparable form.
