Inspired Question · S6W-27895 · Session 6
What it is doing to increase access to diabetes technologies.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to increase access to diabetes technologies.
The answer
The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that everyone living with diabetes can access the care that they need to live their lives well. This includes increasing access to diabetes technologies.
Between 2016 and 2022, we invested £29.6 million of additional funding to support the increased provision of diabetes technologies.
I am delighted to confirm that this financial year, up to £8.8 million of funding will be made available to expand access to diabetes technologies in Scotland. The focus will primarily be on providing access to all children that want Closed Loop Systems, but will also allow us to continue increasing access to adults.
This investment will allow us to continue developing innovative care models for diabetes in Scotland that have a focus on digital pathways and peer support.
