Diabetes: Medical Equipment
Tuesday 19th October 2021

Asked by: James Duddridge (Conservative - Rochford and Southend East)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What recent assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of continual glucose monitors in treating diabetes.

Answered by Maggie Throup

The Department has not made any recent assessment. Commissioning decisions for the adoption of technology products in diabetes are guided by authoritative, evidence-based guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

NICE has made a number of recommendations on continuous glucose monitoring in its suite of guidelines on diabetes, which are currently being updated. NICE will consider the evidence on and expects to publish its updated guidance in March 2022.

Strokes: Health Services
Tuesday 14th November 2017

Asked by: James Duddridge (Conservative - Rochford and Southend East)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the use of hyper-acute stroke units on patient outcomes.

Answered by Philip Dunne

Centralising stroke care into a smaller number of larger units provides the opportunity to ensure that there are specialist nurses and doctors available to manage patients at all times, and provides immediate access to imaging and other investigatory facilities if required.

Benefits of the system have been shown in Manchester and London with reduced mortality and more efficient use of resources. Most other parts of the country have implemented similar changes, or are planning to.
