HC Deb 03 April 1995 vol 257 c936W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations she has received calling for the reintroduction of free tests for pensioners; what her response has been; and if she will make a statement. [17979]

Mr. Malone

We have received and are considering a copy of the Association of Optometrists and British Medical Association's joint document "Free Eye Examinations For the Over-65s", which calls for the re-instatement of national health service eye examinations for that group.
