The strategy established a network of collaborative local partnerships involving local NHS boards, local authorities and the third sector, to re-design and re-align the provision and delivery of services to people with a sensory impairment in a way that is appropriate for the local area: Audiology is a key part of these services. Action on Hearing Loss is an active member of a number of these local partnerships, most notably Ayrshire and Arran, where, along with the Royal National Institute of Blind People, it has driven the development of the sensory impairment locality plan.
