Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to increase funding for primary eye care services as part of his Department's plan to shift care from hospitals to the community.

Over the course of the 10-Year Health Plan, the share of expenditure on hospital care will fall and there will be proportionally greater investment in out of-hospital care as local areas build and expand their neighbourhood health services.

The detail of Spending Review budget allocations within departments is still being determined and we are working to provide the detail and certainty needed on future funding and spending plans.
