Expert Working Group Report
The Expert Working Group Report launched in February 2021 explores three remit areas which shape recommendations. These remit areas are as follows:
1. Whether the principle of universal NHS-funded eyecare remains the correct approach for The Scottish
Government in the delivery of community eyecare services;
2. A review of the performance and maintenance of primary eyecare services within Scottish communities;
3. How primary eyecare services can be enhanced across Scotland.
