HC Deb 27 February 1998 vol 307 c398W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to review the availability of domiciliary eye examinations in special schools for children with learning difficulties; and if he will make a statement. [31774]

Mr. Boateng

There are no plans specifically to review the availability of domiciliary eye examinations for children at special schools. We are reviewing the domiciliary sight test scheme which, because it provides for visits to patients only at their place of residence, does not cover children at non-residential schools.
