Viewpoint: Irrelevant afterthought

It was with an air of disbelief that I read in the June 7 Days news section that ‘Optical bodies welcome primary care report.’ I had read this report in full on the day it was published and, the more I read, the more my heart sank. Having seen this apparent endorsement of the report by the optical bodies I re-read it just in case I had got things wrong. Sadly, my first reading was indeed accurate. The biggest problem with the whole report is that the term ‘primary care’ in the very greater part means the GP sector of primary care.
