Glaucoma: Health Services

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking through the NHS 10 Year Health Plan to improve glaucoma care.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The 10-Year Health Plan will deliver the three big shifts our National Health Service needs to be fit for the future, from hospital to community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention. All of these are relevant to preventing and managing conditions such as glaucoma. More tests and scans delivered in the community and better joint working between services will support the management of conditions, including glaucoma, closer to home.
