Uveitis, Airport assistance, Professor John Hull
Dr Maria Dawson on proposed cuts to funding for Uveitis treatments, and Diane Roworth's experience of being pushed when she could walk. Plus a tribute to Prof John Hull.
Dr Maria Dawson, from RNIB, explains why the charity is considering legal action following NHS England's decision to refuse funding for the Anti TNF drugs, used to treat patients with a rare eye condition, Uveitis.
Diane Roworth, CEO of York Blind & Partially-Sighted Society, tells of her recent experience returning from a sailing holiday in Greece when, having requested assistance, she was provided with a wheelchair, rather than a guiding arm by airport staff. Apologies all round from those involved.
And In Touch pays tribute to Professor John Hull, a longtime friend of the programme, who died recently aged 80.
Producer: Cheryl Gabriel.
