Audiology Services: Doncaster

My hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (Jo White) mentioned dementia. This is Dementia Action Week. The ability to hear is so important, not just for the obvious reasons, but in the broader context of dementia. This is about dignity and being able to enjoy precious moments. The Alzheimer’s Society has a regular “singing for the brain” event at Cantley community centre, and it is a beautiful way to bring people together. The ability to hear, converse and grasp that music is so important. Does my hon. Friend the Member for Doncaster Central (Sally Jameson) agree, in Dementia Action Week, that we must continue to fight for audiology services for that reason? What a wonderful way to show that we care—doing something in this place to help all those people who will live with dementia in the coming years.
