A Belfast mum has said she is "absolutely horrified" by lack of the support for deaf people in hospital emergency departments after a "distressing encounter" during a visit to A&E.
The woman, who does not wish to be named, is the mother of a deaf child herself and believes more needs to be done to support the deaf community when they visit a hospital for urgent medical attention.
She was speaking following her experience while attending the Royal Victoria Hospital's Emergency Department last week.
