Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to collect standardised data on treatment outcomes of (a) glaucoma, (b) wet age-related macular degeneration and (c) diabetic retinopathy.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are working closely with the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and NHS Digital to improve the collection of eye care related data captured by National Health Service trusts and the independent sector. They are drawing upon the clinical data sets already produced by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and the data set in production for glaucoma.
