Lipodystrophy
(asked on 19th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what services are commissioned (a) centrally and (b) locally for the management and treatment of patients diagnosed with generalised or partial lipodystrophy.
This question was answered on 27th October 2017
In 2012, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was commissioned as a single Highly Specialised Service for Severe Insulin Resistance service which can assess and treat patients with generalised or partial lipodystrophy from all across England.
This is a very rare condition so the national service provides education and advice to services where patients are being treated.
