Dear Sir

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding. Services for
profoundly deaf children are provided by Birmingham Institute for the Deaf
under a service level agreement between Birmingham City Council & BID to
deliver this support. We are liaising with BID to ask if they have records
of the number of children that they are supporting or provide information
to but still have not received a response.

As you can see Birmingham City Council does not hold data to answer your
question directly but are trying to locate this from a third party. Should
any information be forthcoming I will forward it to you.

Yours sincerely,
Steve Cullen
