Consultation on the Welsh Vision Strategy Implementation Plan.
[ Contents | Intro. | Outcome 1. | Outcome 2. | Outcome 3. | Appendix ]
The consultation to determine the Welsh Vision Strategy Implementation Plan has now been launched.
This Implementation Plan has three key outcomes which mirror those of the UK Vision Strategy:-
- Improving the eye health of the people of Wales.
- Eliminating avoidable sight loss and delivering excellent support to people with sight loss.
- Inclusion, participation and independence for people with sight loss.
All four governments of the UK have given the UK Vision Strategy their support and have country plans and steering groups in place. We are now asking for your views on the plan.
The Wales Vision Strategy Advisory Group includes representation from professionals across the sectors, including neurologists/ neuroscience researchers, orthoptists, optometrists, ophthalmologists, Royal College of Nursing, RNIB Cymru, RNID, NALSVI, The Guide Dogs for the Blind (Guide Dogs), Wales Council for the Blind, social services and the Welsh Assembly Government. Everyone is working together to try and make this a success.
What do you think?
An important part of this process is letting people see the plan, and listening to their comments. Do you like the plan? Is it easy to understand? Are there things that you would like to see in the plan but are missing?
This consultation gives everyone a chance to share their views.
Please take the time to look at the document. Remember, this is a work in progress. We'll be listening to the comments made during this consultation and acting on them before launching the final version of the strategy later this year.
To leave feedback on the strategy you can email the strategy team at walesvisionstrategy@rnib.org.uk . If you'd like to talk about the strategy, you can call me on 02920 473 594.
The closing deadline for the consultation is the 5th February 2010.
