Vol. 354 No. 2

Written Answers. - Sight Testing.

627.

asked the Minister for Health the number of sight tests carried out each year for the last three years by ophthalmic surgeons, ophthalmic opticians and optical medical practitioners.

I presume that the Deputy is referring to the sight testing scheme under which eligible adults are provided with ophthalmic services. The numbers of sight tests carried out in the last three years under the sight testing scheme are as follows:

1981

1982

1983

Ophthalmic surgeons

10,430

7,093

9,187

Ophthalmic medical practitioners

499
