<p>Information on the number of patients living with HIV who were offered and received
an annual health assessment for cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, diabetes
and bone health in each NHS England region is not collected centrally. An ongoing
assessment for cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, diabetes and bone health
is part of the core clinical and therapeutic management of patients with HIV.</p><p>
</p><p>NHS England has published a service specification for HIV services which defines
the standards of care expected from organisations funded by NHS England to provide
specialised care. The service specification refers to the British HIV Association

and are subject to local and national clinical audit. A copy of the service specification
can be viewed on NHS England’s website at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/spec-services/npc-crg/blood-and-infection-group-f/f03/"
