Diabetic Retinopathy Screening brought back to Heywood
Date published: 17 April 2015
The Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Action Group has been successful in their campaign to get the service reinstated in Heywood.
The group received the news yesterday (Thursday 16 April) that the DRS Service has booked rooms at the Phoenix Centre for November 2015 until April 2016 to accommodate the next round of screenings.
Pearl Naylor from the Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Action Group said: “Looks like we have won. It just proves that everything we have said from day one was correct.”
Janet Lees added: “We are so pleased. We still can’t quite believe it. It is such a turnaround from last week. I’m just happy for all of the diabetic patients this has affected. That was our aim and we got it back.”
