56404 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Associate Minister of Health: Does she agree with Aged Care Commissioner Carolyn Cooper that The Ministry of Health subsidy for hearing aids of $1022 a pair wasn’t enough, and the Government should provide hearing aids for everyone who needs them, including the costs of assessment and fitting; if so, what, if anything, will she do to address this?

Hon Casey Costello: I refer the Member to Hon Louise Upston's reply to Written Parliamentary Question 23336 (2024).
