Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will identify opthalmology as a priority therapy area in its next mandate to NHS England.
This question was answered on 15th January 2018
The Government is currently developing its approach to the mandate to NHS England for 2018-19, in light of the extra £2.8 billion to 2019/20 provided through the autumn Budget to support the National Health Service. Both NHS England and Healthwatch England are involved in its development as statutory consultees.
