Technical Debt: Patient Communications

The Patient Communication functionality in the Portal no longer works following the move to the PDS FHIR API. It should inform users of which languages a patient speaks and whether they need an interpreter (see https://interweavedigital.atlassian.net/browse/ICR-5677)

As a Portal User
I would like to know when PDS has a record of which languages a patient speaks and whether they need an interpreter
So that I can ensure necessary arrangement/adjustments are in place for the patient
Other information

The Portal UI will only currently show PDS languages when they are 'flagged' as preferred. However, that extension is not used in the FHIR API (only language and interpreter required). As such suggest the UI is updated to show all languages (and interpreter required) regardless of whether they are preferred (note: this could involve displaying multiple languages)
