[QUOTE="walk39isl, post: 2329850, member: 135199"] There was a recent review of nhs provided services in Feb 2020 including not providing Accuchek Aviva blood test strips freeon prescription any more. The info about retinopathy eye tests is available on the North West London Eye Test Screening Retinopathy screening service telephone number since 30 June 2020 and they are only screening those in imminent danger if losing their sight and all other tests are suspended until 2021. I had mine done at Specsavers instead and paid for it. As for NHS annual and two yearly eye tests, NHS site on eye tests now specifies no free optician eye tests and free eye tests for Dwp state benefits claimants ie not housing benefit from local council claimants and it would seem that these have to be done on nhs premises not at an optician. It rather puts people off applying for the free eye tests that I have enjoyed for years. [/QUOTE]
