Colour Vision Deficiency
(asked on 6th September 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of people diagnosed with colour blindness in the last three years.
This question was answered on 29th September 2022
The information requested is not held centrally. The majority of patients with colour blindness will be diagnosed in primary care, while those patients with severe symptoms receive treatment in hospital. While data is collected on those diagnosed in secondary care with colour vision deficiencies, this includes a range of conditions and does not separately identify those diagnosed with colour blindness.
