Breaking The Sound Barrier.

From LINK Scotland:
We are submitting an online petition to No.10 as follows:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to provide adequate
resources through the NHS and Social Services departments to allow for
full and appropriate specialist rehabilitation services to be made
available on demand for people who are affected by acquired profound
hearing loss (APHL)
It will take you about 30 seconds to sign up to this online at
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/deafened/
Please pass this link on to friends, colleagues and contacts, with our
request for this small gesture of support, and our best wishes.
Vote for it here so that LINK can take it forward. You can see the other 'soapbox' opinions here.
- though, obviously, LINK need to have an option for a decent, cross-browser, website, built by someone who knows better than to put spaces in URI's. etc. etc. :-(
Gerry is also interviewed in the October issues of One In Seven the RNID members magazine, with a moving story from my niece Fiona, about his cochlear implant which has given him the ability to hear again. Hopefully he's enjoying the music.
