Motion TitleDriving Forward Quality Standards for Diabetes Care

Motion TextThat this Assembly recognises the rising prevalence of diabetes in Northern Ireland; stresses the importance of diabetes technology in managing diabetes and improving the quality of life of those affected; highlights that the National Diabetes Audit undertaken in other parts of the United Kingdom is essential to tracking key metrics, identifying service gaps and providing the data needed to enhance patient outcomes, reduce complications, and ensure equitable access to care; notes with deep concern that Northern Ireland has been unable to benefit to date; calls on the Minister of Health to ensure regional participation in the National Audit as soon as possible, as committed to in the Diabetes Strategic Framework; and further calls on the Minister to urgently implement the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Technical Appraisal Guidance 943 to ensure hybrid closed loop technology is rolled out on a consistent basis across the United Kingdom.
