On providing care for a baby for the rest of it's life (say 80 years?) if it were made completely deaf due to a bad reaction to antibiotics? If a reputable Company can come up with the projected cost maybe NICE would listen to common sense? It's got to be more than £1m per baby over 80 years.
=============================
For starters:-
"Cochlear implants typically cost between £20,000 and £30,000 per ear in the UK, covering the device, surgery, and rehabilitation. While private, these costs can reach £50,000 for a single-side package. However, cochlear implants are provided free of charge for eligible residents through the NHS.".
Then you have the next 80 odd years....................
