Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to improve access to paediatric eye care services in Lincolnshire.
This question was answered on 16th June 2025
Integrated care boards are responsible for commissioning primary and secondary eye care services, including paediatric eye care services, in their areas to meet patient needs.
Free National Health Service sight tests also continue to be available for children under 16 years old, and for those under 19 years old and in full time education. We are not aware of any issues with access to NHS sight testing services.
