Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of people with diabetes in (a) Ellesmere Port and (b) NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB have had a urine-to-albumin ratio test in the last year.

The following table shows the proportion of people with diabetes in Ellesmere Port and NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board who have received a urine-to-albumin ratio test between January 2021 and March 2022.

Notes:

1. Locations are represented in the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) dataset using the Lower Layer Super Output Area of the person in the audit year. A direct mapping of these geographies to a specific town does not exist, meaning that, while the figures provided for Ellesmere Port are likely close to the true value, they should not be considered exact.
2. Disclosure control has been applied to all figures, as per the NDA publication – all numbers are rounded to the nearest 5, unless the number is 1 to 7, in which case it is rounded to 5.
3. Diabetes type is reported as ‘Type 1’ and ‘Type 2 and other’ within the NDA.
4. ‘Type 1’ includes where a person is recorded as having Type 1 diabetes in the NDA.
5. ‘Type 2 and other’ includes where a person is recorded as having Type 2 diabetes, Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young, other or non-specified diabetes in the NDA.
