MP Theresa Villiers visits community practice

MP for Chipping Barnet Theresa Villiers has paid a visit to Visioncare Medical Eye Centre in New Barnet.

The politician was welcomed by practice owner, Prakash Rughani (also pictured), who has worked in the community for the past 30 years.

Villiers said: ‘I am grateful to the Local Optical Committee and to practice owner, Prakash Rughani, for setting up this very interesting visit. I received a very useful briefing on the expected increase in the number of people in the UK living with impaired eye sight – a rise of about 115 per cent is forecast over the next 36 years.
