Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of people reliant on lip reading as a key form of communication in (a) Camberwell and Peckham and (b) the UK.
This question was answered on 4th September 2020
We have not estimated how many people are reliant on lip reading as a key form of communication in Camberwell and Peckham or in the United Kingdom.
We know and recognise that lip reading is an important way for people with a hearing impairment in addition to people with other health conditions and disabilities to communicate with others.
