<p>Preventing diabetes and promoting the best possible care for people with diabetes
is a key priority for this Government. The NHS Five Year Forward View set out a commitment
to implement a National NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. This will provide lifestyle
interventions for people at increased risk of type 2 diabetes to reduce their possibility
of developing this condition. We are building on this programme to improve the outcomes
of people with and at risk of diabetes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For those who
already have diabetes, delivery of the care processes continues to be incentivised
through the Quality Outcomes Framework. It is up to individual general practitioner
(GP) practices, working with their local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), to
assess their own performance and take action where necessary.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>We have increased transparency through the creation of an online tool which
highlights variation in the prevalence and treatment of diabetes. The link can be
found below:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://healthierlives.phe.org.uk/"
target="_blank">http://healthierlives.phe.org.uk/</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In
addition, the CCG outcomes indicator set provides clear, comparative information for
CCGs, Health and Wellbeing Boards, local authorities, patients and the public about
the quality of health services commissioned by CCGs and the associated health outcomes.
Through publicly sharing this information, CCGs and GP practices can see how they
compare with their peers and take action where they need to improve.</p><p> </p><p>
