Eye Care Services
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges what it considers the importance of safe and efficient delivery of eye care services for the health and wellbeing of patients; notes what it sees as the unwarranted variation in access to eye care services across the nation, including in remote and rural areas such as the Highlands and Islands; understands there is a rising demand for cataract procedures as a result of an ageing population, and calls on the Scottish Government to adopt a national strategy to support greater uptake of efficient and high-quality treatments to prevent further sight loss in older people.
