Outsourcing of NHS cataract care
This report looks at how the rapid growth in private sector provision of NHS cataract care has happened, the profits that have been generated by some of the companies, and the conflicts of interest that lie at the heart of this new way of delivering NHS eye care. Based on an analysis of NHS expenditure data, freedom of information requests, Companies House accounts, and interviews with those working in NHS England, the report identifies various issues which policy makers should address.
