- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent discussions he has had with representatives of the optometry sector on the future delivery of primary eye care services.
- Answer
-
Integrated care boards are responsible for assessing the health needs of their population and for commissioning primary and secondary eye care services to meet them.
Over the last 12 months I have met with a number of representatives across the eye care sector including The Optometric Fees Negotiating Committee, The Eyes Have It Partnership, as well as members of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Eye Health and Visual impairment, which included the Hon. Member for Leicester South, to discuss primary eye care services. Officials in the Department also regularly meet with optometry stakeholders.
