Meeting description: To highlight the role and history of Sight Scotland Veterans and the services we provide to blind and partially sighted people. We informed the Member of our campaigns for free companion travel for National Entitlement Card (NEC) holders with a visual impairment and our braille labelling campaign calling for more accessible food packaging and urged them to support this policy. Lastly we discussed our concerns around waiting times for ophthalmology appointments and the importance of Scottish Government funding for eye healthcare.
