Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
The Cost of Blindness in Ireland: National Vision Coalition

Mr. David Keegan:
Regarding the document itself, we do refer to a strategy. We have published a framework document, hard or soft copies of which we can make available. As Mr. Kenny alluded to, the framework provides a roadmap for what we feel is the best route to go. The committee will have heard me name-check the cancer strategy from 2006 earlier on. When one looks at that strategy, a lot of good has come out of implementing it and a similar strategy on eye care would deliver the same sort of benefits as that programme has delivered in this country.
