However, it is for clinical commissioning groups to make decisions on the commissioning of health services that best meet the needs of their local population, taking into account local priorities and needs.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published guidance on the management of type 2 Diabetes in adults. This guideline states:</p><p>“1.6.13 Do not routinely offer self-monitoring of blood glucose levels for adults with type 2 diabetes unless:</p><ul><li>the person is on insulin or</li><li>there is evidence of hypoglycaemic episodes or</li><li>the person is on oral medication that may increase their risk of hypoglycaemia while driving or operating machinery or</li><li>the person is pregnant, or is planning to become pregnant. For more information, see the NICE guideline on diabetes in pregnancy (<a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng3" target="_blank">http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng3</a> ). There have been no recent changes to prescribing recommendations, although NHS England have recently consulted on proposals to prescribe test strips only that fall below a certain cost threshold.”</li></ul><p>More information is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2</a></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 02/07/2019 16:27:24 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

uin	268501
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>On 17 June 2019, my Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced a root-and-branch review of all the food in hospitals, both food served, and food sold. This will look at the safety of food available to patients, visitors and staff, and provide healthier choices and improved nutrition.</p><p>National Health Service organisations have systems of due diligence in place to ensure that all their suppliers have appropriate registrations. The kitchens and other areas in the NHS used to store and process food are required to be registered and rated by the local authority and all staff involved in the preparation and handling of food are required to hold a level two food hygiene certificate. In addition to this, a food safety management system must be in place that outlines controls and processes for the safe delivery, handling and preparing of foods.</p><p>The Food Standards Agency (FSA) published comprehensive guidance for healthcare and social care organisations on managing listeria risk in vulnerable people in 2016. The FSA commissioned delivery of training to 557 key staff responsible for food safety in hospitals and 288 local authority Environmental Health Officers in a series of workshops and webinars in 2015.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 02/07/2019 16:26:38 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
