Data to quarter three of 2022/23 shows that 73% of people with type 1 diabetes were prescribed flash glucose monitoring, against the 20% target.</p><p>In March 2023 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended that insulin dependent patients with type 2 diabetes should also benefit from flash or continuous glucose monitoring devices. We are now starting to see a growth in prescribing within the type 2 diabetes patient group.</p><p>On 19 December 2023 the NICE published its final recommendation on the hybrid closed loop system. The NICE has agreed with NHS England that all children and young people, women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, and those people who already have an insulin pump will be the first to be offered a hybrid closed loop system, as part of a five-year roll-out plan. Access to hybrid closed loop systems will be through a five-year phased roll out, in line with NHS England’s implementation plans.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 29/02/2024 14:08:08 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

In response to the COVID pandemic, the UK supported the Debt Service Suspension Initiative and suspended UK debt repayment from April 2020 to December 2021. Collectively $12.9 billion of repayments were suspended from almost 50 countries. Additionally, the UK provided £150 million towards IMF debt repayment relief through the Catastrophe Containment and Relief Trust.</p><p>The UK plays a leadership role in international discussions on developing country debt which we monitor closely with His Majesties Treasury. As set out in the White Paper on International Development, published last November - through our membership of the Paris Club, G20, and the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable we are pushing for improvements to the global debt architecture and using our position in official creditor committees to help return countries to debt sustainability where necessary.</p><p>The UK is also leading contractual debt innovations, notably Climate Resilient Debt Clauses (CRDCs) that pause debt repayments when a natural disaster hits. UK Export Finance (UKEF) was the first export credit agency globally to offer these, and the Government is pressing for all creditors to offer these in loans - most recently co-hosting a workshop on CRDCs at COP28 and securing several Multilateral Development Banks and other countries to offer these.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 29/02/2024 11:48:26 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
