PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Ophthalmic Services (25 January 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Health and Care Bill, how his Department will measure progress on the integration of eye care services into mainstream health services.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

Answer

Progress on the integration of eye care services into mainstream health services will be measured at a local level, due to the flexibility required to meet varied local circumstances. However NHS England’s Eye Care Planning and Implementation Guidance 2021/22 explains how systems should plan local eye care recovery and transformation in line with the requirements of the 2021/22 priorities and operational planning guidance.
