Turnover and eye examinations

Total practice turnover reduced by less than 0.5 per cent from September to 164 Index points and this is 2 per cent lower than October last year. The total number of eye examinations also fell from last month by almost 1 per cent to 104 Index points and this is 5 per cent lower than October last year. The percentage of examinations which are NHS compared to private remains the same at 76 per cent. In the same month last year this figure was higher at 78 per cent. Turnover per eye examination increased by almost £2 this month to £150 which is the same value as October last year but it is worth noting that this is an improvement of £10 on October 2010.
