Eye Clinic Liaison Officer Service in Fife

Lodged by Murdo Fraser (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Eye Clinic Liaison Officer (ECLO) service in Fife on its five-year anniversary; considers that a visual impairment diagnosis without support can be a devastating experience for the individual; commends the work of the service to help people who have been diagnosed with a visual impairment to come to terms with their condition and access the support they need to retain employment, autonomy and involvement in activities that they enjoy; believes that the work of the ECLO service is vital to people newly-diagnosed with a visual impairment, or at the point of need, in Fife; understands that the service is run as a partnership between RNIB Scotland and NHS Fife, with input from organisations across the health and social care sector, including see-scape, which is the operational name for Fife Society for the Blind, and looks forward to the continued work of these organisations to enable people diagnosed with a visual impairment to lead independent lives.
