    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of available British Sign Language interpreters for Deaf patients with mental health difficulties

    Wider context from the report

    “During the course of the Inquest (which has yet to be concluded) I heard evidence that there was a lack of availability of British Sign Language Interpreters able to help support Deaf patients in the community who were being treated with mental health difficulties. This was particularly apparent when mental health staff were seeking an interpreter at short notice for a patient who was in crisis. The lack of interpreters available has meant that urgent assessments are being carried out with no interpreters present. The overall lack of British Sign Language Interpreters has also meant that this Inquest has itself had to be delayed/adjourned for two months due to there being no available Interpreters to interpreter for two deaf witnesses over the two week period of the Inquest. ”
