HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 c284W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services (I) if he will list the medical research which he has considered on referral rates for glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy;

(2) if he will list the medical research which he has considered on the early identification and treatment of macular degeneration.

Mr. Newton

We have recently received a considerable amount of information relating to research into the incidence of diseases of the eye. There has been extensive correspondence in the specialist journals concerning the results of various studies, much of which has been referred to in the course of proceedings on the Health and Medicines Bill.
