Diabetes

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps she is taking to ensure that there are adequate numbers of diabetes nurses in West Lancashire.
Answer

The ““National Service Framework for Diabetes: Delivery Strategy”” states that diabetes services need to ensure that there are enough staff with appropriate skills who are well-led, supported, and deliver high-quality care. It is up to local diabetes teams to decide, based on the needs of their local population, how best these teams are constructed to provide local services for both adults and children.
