Diabetes: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Diabetes One Stop Shop pilots in Cornwall and Sheffield; and whether these pilots are scalable.
Answered by Mrs Sharon Hodgson
This Government recognises the importance of innovation and new care models in tackling preventable ill health such as type 2 diabetes head-on. We thank those involved in the pilots in Cornwall and Sheffield for their support for those with diabetes by testing this innovative care model.
NHS England has not made a specific assessment on the effectiveness or scalability of the Diabetes One Stop Shop pilots, as innovation and new care models are often shared via regional and clinical networks for integrated care boards (ICBs) to consider and implement where appropriate.
Nationally, we continue to support programmes such as the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme which has offered support to over 2.4 million people at risk of type 2 diabetes since its establishment in 2016, and the NHS Health Check, which aims to detect those at risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and kidney disease aged between 40 and 74 years old.
For those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, this Government continues to support the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme, ensuring those already living with the condition are identified and effectively treated.
