Kidney Diseases: Dialysis Machines
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of progress towards achieving the recommendation in the report from the Getting It Right First Time programme Renal Medicine, published in March 2021, that all renal centres should promote home dialysis for suitable patients and reach a minimum home dialysis rate of 20 per cent.
- Answer
-
Progress is being made towards the ambition through NHS England’s Renal Services Transformation Programme and renal networks, which promote a “home‑first” approach and routine offering of home therapies.
Some regions have improved, with renal networks and regional specialised commissioners using UK Renal Registry data and regional dashboards to benchmark uptake, track progress, and target support in other areas. Increasing home dialysis uptake remains a core national priority.
