Grommets funding in children under 3

Good news! Previously grommets surgery was not funded in children under 3 years of age in Nottinghamshire. However, grommets surgery is now being funded irrespective of age. The other funding criteria still apply, but there is no longer a blanket ban on grommet surgery in children under 3. If you think this affects you, please contact your GP or your ENT service.
