1326. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health the status of the roll-out of the recommendations of the primary care eye services review group report; the amount of funding set aside for the recommendations; the amount drawn down to date; the recommendations accepted in full; and the recommendations that have not yet been implemented. [36665/19]
View answerThe HSE published the Report of the Primary Care Eye Services Review Group in June 2017. The overall aim of the Review is to reorganise primary care eye services with an increased emphasis on maximising delivery of a comprehensive service at primary care level, thereby also releasing capacity in the acute sector to provide more complex services. As the issues raised are service matters they have been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
