Chief Executive Letter CEL 4 (2012) on Insulin Pump Therapy for People with Type 1 Diabetes, issued on 27 February, makes it clear that we expect all NHS boards to triple the number of insulin pumps for both adults and children with type 1 diabetes over the next three years.
The progress that all NHS boards are making with increasing insulin pump provision will continue to be published in the annual Scottish Diabetes Survey.
