Viewpoint: Worlds apart

I was interested to read the pre-election manifestos published by the College of Optometrists and Specsavers. The ideal scenario described in both publications is largely what we have here in Wales, so whereas that would be a perfect subject for my first column since the election of our new government, I am awaiting some official early figures so I can comment fully.

I will say though that it feels odd that things can be so different depending on which side of the bridge you live on. Then again, my own two practices are geographically separated by a mere few miles, but worlds apart in other ways.
