A blind campaigner has said she can't get the eye clinic at one of Newcastle 's hospitals to provide her with letters in braille.
Hazel Hyland, 44, was born with glaucoma and is registered blind. She is a regular attendee at the RVI' s eye clinic, but told ChronicleLive that, even though other departments at the hospital have been able to provide appointment letters in braille, the eye department had not been.
She said she has continuously raised the issue - which has even seen her miss important appointments over the years.
