Free Eye Tests For Pensioners (EDM1654)

Free Eye Tests For Pensioners

EDM number 1654 in 1997-98, proposed by Simon Hughes on 19/10/1998.

That this House welcomes the Government's announcement of free eye tests for pensioners; recognises that free eye tests will lead to the earlier detection of eye problems and to earlier treatment; records its concern that many elderly people will put their eyes at risk of permanent damage by delaying having eye tests until tests are available free on 1st April 1999; and therefore calls on the Government to begin free eye tests for pensioners immediately.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
