Bill Harvey: I want to ride my bike

Here we go again – welcome to the new CET cycle.

The turn of the year saw a range of news items offering, some would say much needed, distraction from the impending big day (now known in the Harvey household as B-Day). The intangible drone attacks were some diversion. More importantly, this week we have seen something of the proposed 10-year plan for the NHS which has been supported by some much needed investment.

Obviously, there will be some impact on eye care, and surely most significant will be a continued recognition of the key role of the primary care community in reducing hospital overload, increasing patient access to services and reducing waiting times for treatments.
