NHS: Eye Tests
My honourable friend the Minister of State (Rosie Winterton) made the following Written Ministerial Statement on 10 March. Regulations have today been laid before Parliament to increase optical voucher values by 2.5 per cent. This will continue to provide help with the cost of spectacles or contact lenses to children, people on low income and individuals with complex sight problems. Optical voucher values in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are a matter for the devolved Administrations. Details of the revised optical voucher values have been placed in the Library.
