Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve access to community minor and urgent eye conditions services in England.
This question was answered on 7th November 2025
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for assessing the health needs of their local population and commissioning primary and secondary eye care services to meet them. Arrangements to meet local needs will differ across ICB geographies and could include commissioning minor and urgent eye condition services in the community.
