Question

To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ recent warnings about cataract surgery capacity.

Answered by Gray, Neil - Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care

I understand that the Royal College of Ophthalmologists has recently written to Stephen Kinnock MP, Minister of State for Care, calling for a review into the use and oversight of independent sector providers for NHS-funded cataract surgery in NHS England.

NHS Scotland continues to make best use of existing NHS resources and capacity. Our National Treatment Centres (NTC) programme provides additional protected elective capacity and infrastructure for ophthalmic activity and a number of Health Boards also have additional cataract slots at Golden Jubilee National Hospital.

While NHS Scotland makes limited use of the independent sector, in certain circumstances limited use of alternative providers, including independent sector providers, may be required in response to capacity constraints.
