We broadly support this recommendation but believe that there are important outstanding questions that require attention before such a policy is implemented. We discuss the decision in the context of the history of the NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (NDESP) and reflect on the current state of evidence, including work cited by the NSC [1–4]. |
