The above story is great news! I do feel that our ‘basic senses’ should be protected by this unique, often maligned but much lauded , National Health Service and that sight has been one that for some reason the government of the 80’s and the 90’s decuded to farm out to the private sector to make some ‘health cash’ on.
This, I feel, is a great example of how the devolved administration of the UK can make a difference to the people they serve, you wouldn’t expect to have to pay for a hearing test, so why for a sight test??
Excellent news for Scotland, now lets just hope it is resourced enough to cope!
