However, they would only be recorded against one criterion on the form. Patients are more likely to be recorded according to their clinical need rather than their age. For example, a patient aged over 60, with glaucoma is likely to be recorded in the glaucoma category only. The count by eligibility is therefore approximate.</li><li>The figures do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one NHS sight test within the same period.</li></ol> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 31/10/2016 09:16:17 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
