This year, the Executive has published the Report of the Certification and Registration Working Group (Social Work Services for People with a Sensory Impairment) which highlights that NHS Trusts and local authorities should ensure that full assessments of visual impairment are undertaken by multi disciplinary teams, and the Scottish Executive will be supporting pilot studies to develop assessment criteria.In addition, there is a UK National Screening Committee that advises all the Government Departments on screening issues, including advice on neonatal hearing screening and vision screening.
