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.
