Health and Care Bill: Amendments 109 & 226

Amendments 109 & 226 to the Health and Care Bill would require NHS England’s oversight framework for integrated care systems to include a metric on the percentage of diabetes patients in their area accessing diabetes technology. This would enable patients to receive better information regarding new technology and help people self manage type1 diabetes.

New technology can really help children with type 1 diabetes. However, research done by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has shown that not enough clinicians are trained to use this technology.
