Written Question · S5W-22366 · Session 5
What target it has set or plans for (a) children and (b) adults with type 1 diabetes to receive continuous glucose monitoring.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government what target it has set or plans for (a) children and (b) adults with type 1 diabetes to receive continuous glucose monitoring.
The answer
We expect NHS Boards to plan and budget to meet the healthcare needs of their resident population, including the appropriate levels for continuous glucose monitors for children and adults.
In 2016, the Scottish Government committed £10 million of additional funding, over the term of this Parliament, to increase the provision of continuous glucose monitors for all ages and insulin pump therapy for adults.
As part of this commitment, the 2019-20 additional funding will support NHS Boards in Scotland to deliver 138 continuous glucose monitors to patients of all ages.
