No loop provision

Posted By Upset Mum

"No loop provision"

About: Stirling Care Village / Minor injuries unit

(as a parent/guardian),

I couldn't hear through the glass panel at the reception point. It was incredibly stressful because I was trying to liaise about my son's injury. The woman on the other side was struggling to hear too.

I use hearing aids and there was no loop provision - it was a dreadful experience. Very upsetting to me.

Hello Upset Mum

I thought I would give you a little update. Since your posting staff have visited the Minor Injuries Unit to look at the hearing loop and discovered that there was a fault with the system, there was a problem with one of the switches, it has now been fixed and the loop system is now working properly.

I really appreciate you taking the time to tell us about you experience.

Kindest regards
