4636 - EYE PATIENT CARE IN THE HUNTER REGION

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Health, and Minister for Medical Research
  1. What alternative options for treatment are available to non-urgent eye patients in the Hunter region now that the public eye clinic at John Hunter Hospital has closed?
  2. Will these alternative options for treatment cost non-urgent patients more?
Answer -

I am advised:

Ophthalmology surgery continues to be offered through the Hunter New England Local Health District. Patients who require routine, non-urgent care have a range of options including seeing ophthalmologists in their private rooms, or other specialists, GPs and optometrists in addition to referral to the state ophthalmic facility, the Sydney Eye Hospital.
