The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of including primary eye care in the NHS 10 year plan.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Government’s 10-Year Health Plan was published on the 3 July and can be accessed at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/10-year-health-plan-for-england-fit-for-the-future.

The 10-Year Health Plan will support more eye care services being delivered in the community and better joint working between primary and secondary eye care services.
