Mr. Chris White:

I do not disagree with the Irish Cancer Society approach, but having a strategic embedded approach for vision rehabilitation in a vision strategy has to be our starting point. We do not want to be the organisation that just calls for more money forever without having a purpose. Vision Ireland is a major player in looking for a vision strategy, but it is not the only player. We have colleagues in other organisations and a very strong partnership approach with the HSE. Unless we have a unified vision for how we will deal with the issues around vision impairment and sight loss, we cannot work out how much that will cost and how it will be funded. Our starting point is to encourage the adoption and development of a national vision rehabilitation strategy. That is taking one step back and looking at the bigger picture. I will ask my colleague, Mr. Mullaniff, to talk about the detail of that.
