Question
To ask the Scottish Government what investment will be required to disperse the ophthalmology services provided by the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion in Edinburgh to Livingston.
Answer
The Scottish Government has asked NHS Lothian to carry out a review of the way in which it delivers its eye care services and to look again at what it can do with its existing estate, including the existing Eye Pavilion, and whether it can adapt the designs for the new Elective Care Centre in Livingston to increase its ophthalmic surgery capacity.
