I am having a little difficulty believing that the public knows anything about quality assurance for opticians and even a harder time imagining the response from surveying all of the public who lined up to get their free glasses on line from unregulated sellers .
I wonder what the public would say in a survey if they were asked to comment on their confidence in regulators considering the discipline acheived in the Optician Gone Mad Case as seen on you tube or perhaps in the CBC Marketplace endorsement for another famous discipline case. Or perhaps what the public's confidence level is like considering the BC deregulation and over riding of judges .
My bet is that, if surveyed, the public would demand proof of Quality Asurance from the Regulators not the regulated .
Perhaps opticians should commission their own survey and find out what the public really thinks.
