HC Deb 22 February 1985 vol 73 c598W
Mr. Galley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what changes he proposes to make relating to the hospital eye service when changes to general ophthalmic services take effect on 1 April.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The present arrangements for refraction and dispensing for hospital eye service patients will continue although they will be able to choose whether to have their prescriptions dispensed outside the National Health Service.
