Several reviews are under way of a hospital’s struggling ophthalmology service, after it reported backlogs of hundreds of patients at high risk of harm.
Concerns have repeatedly been raised at George Eliot Hospital Trust about clinical practice and safety for optometry and glaucoma patients, according to several board papers issued over recent months.
The ophthalmology service was taken back into the trust’s direct control five years ago, having previously been outsourced to private provider Newmedica from 2012.
