Moneo writes: Show us the money before Mecs model is set in stone

There has been a lot of talk recently about Mecs systems throughout the country and the word on the street seems to be that this is the way we should all be going. I read somewhere that with yet another year of stagnation on the NHS fee Mecs afforded us the opportunity to find a way around the parlous figure paid for NHS sight testing.

It seems that it is all speed full ahead at Locsu on this topic. As you will know from my previous columns Moneo is very pro ‘clinical optometry’ and therefore you would expect me to welcome these sort of initiatives with open arms. However, I wish to sound a very loud note of concern at the outset of this new era in optometry.
