DIABETES NATIONAL FRAMEWORK

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the publication of the National Service Framework for Diabetes Delivery Strategy in England; notes that the National Service Framework requires the establishment of up-to-date practice-based registers so that patients receive appropriate advice and treatment in line with the National Service Framework standards; welcomes the commitment that by 2007 all people with diabetes at risk of retinopathy in England will be offered screening for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy; and calls on all primary care trusts to set their own local targets which will result in tangible and immediate service improvements for people with diabetes.
