Tone-deaf response to patients’ needs

Your report on deaf people struggling to access healthcare in the NHS (26 May) reminded me of an incident that my profoundly deaf uncle said occurred when he turned up for an 11am appointment at an NHS audiology clinic. He still hadn’t been seen by midday, and when he asked what was going on, a nurse said: “Oh, we called out your name several times.”

• Re phones in concerts (Letters, 27 May), why don’t more venues do what Bob Dylan does? He has tried continually for years to stop recordings and photographs. Now, when you enter the concert you must place your mobile in a wallet, which is then locked. You keep the wallet with you, and as you leave it is unlocked.
