14th June 2017The HSE has asked SLIS to help make it easier for Deaf People have an Irish Sign Language interpreter at their GP’s appointments.
The HSE is giving SLIS a small fund for booking and paying for interpreters for GP appointments.
The HSE fund will only pay for interpreter for Deaf people with a HSE Medical Card or GP Visit card. But we hope to expand this in future, so that all Deaf people have access to interpreter for their GP appointments.
