I am writing about British Sign Language Qualified Level 6 Interpreters. We have been concerned the Interpreters for Deaf People are being CUT such as NRCPD Fully qualified Register Level 6 (indentified by the Yellow Badge) for National Health Service (NHS) at Royal Preston Hospital. The Hospital has been booking NRCPD Trainee Interpreters (indentified by the Blue Badge) and as such are a Lower Level which is unacceptable. Deaf People are not satisfied with having to use Trainee Interpreters. However, we are aware lots of Deaf People who are living in North West of England have been complaining about Trainee Interpreters. It seems they are being used because they are cheaper compared to Qualified Interpreters. Myself and my Family are Deaf and we always used Co-Sign Interpreters for many years, as they always and only employ Qualified Interpreters. But Co-Sign are not being booked by the Hospital at Preston and Chorley anymore.
