Kidney Diseases: Dialysis Machines
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of regional variation in home dialysis uptake between renal centres in England, including variation identified by the UK Renal Registry; and what steps they are taking to increase uptake in those areas with lower rates of home dialysis.
- Answer
-
We recognise the regional variation in home dialysis uptake, as identified through UK Renal Registry data, reflecting differences in workforce, infrastructure, and local practice.
To address this, renal networks are using data dashboards to benchmark variation, supporting some centres to implement improvement plans, standardising pathways such as pre‑dialysis education and home set‑up processes, and sharing best practice from high‑performing “home‑first” models to improve equity of access.
