Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the role of NHS England is in reducing care inconsistencies across eye health services; and how effective NHS England has been in that role.
This is a matter for each of the local clinical commissioning groups.
Eye health services that are regulated activities in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 are required to register with the Care Quality Commission and comply with the Fundamental Standards of Care.
