Following some concern from the public, the Council would like to clarify that this Mr Ormrod is not the same Peter Ormerod who was appointed by the Secretary of State to act as a member of the Hearing Aid Council. Peter Ormerod, who sits on our Council and the Disciplinary Committee, has never been found guilty of any breach of the HAC Code of Practice.

The Council would like to apologise for any confusion or inconvenience caused.
