Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will publish a national eye strategy.

There are no plans to develop a National Eye Strategy. The 10-Year Health Plan supports more locally developed and integrated neighbourhood care rather than a top down, one size fits all solution. Integrated care boards will want to take different approaches to commissioning primary and secondary eye care services, depending on local need as well as the skills and resources available to them.
