The attached table details the number of elective public Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) procedures completed at Jersey General Hospital per year, from 2020 to 2023, including preparatory surgery and attention to fixtures. Where fewer than five procedures have been performed in a year, disclosure control has been applied to protect the personal information of individuals, and this is shown in the table as ‘<5’.
