§ Mr. LaxtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people aged over 60 in Derby, North have benefited from the abolition of charges for eye tests; and what percentage this represents of over 60-years-olds in Derby, North. [173741]
§ Dr. LadymanFigures for the number of sight tests by constituency, or senior citizens are not collected centrally.
In 2002–03, the total number of national health service sight tests paid for patients aged 60 and over in Trent Strategic Health Authority was 231,650. The total number eligible for free sight test for those aged 60 and over was 584,620.
Sight tests can not be equated to the numbers of patients. Although most people do not come back for a sight test within the year, some patients suffering from medical conditions are advised to have re-examinations sooner.
§ Mr. MealeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS doctors were working within Nottinghamshire health authority areas in each year since 1997. [173524]
§ Dr. LadymanThe information requested is shown in the tables.
