question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what her timetable is for the rollout of Endo Barriers on the NHS.
tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	23480
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2024 answer text <p>The implantation of a duodenal–jejunal bypass liner, also known as an endo barrier, for managing type 2 diabetes, is not recommended by the NICE, and therefore not available on the National Health Service. Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of the device for managing type 2 diabetes is limited in quality and quantity. For this reason, the NICE recommends that the procedure should only be done as part of a research study. Further information on the NICE guidelines is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg518/chapter/1-Recommendations" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg518/chapter/1-Recommendations</a></p><p>The NICE may update the guidance, upon publication of further evidence. The NICE recommends that people with type 2 diabetes receive eight care processes at least annually, to support them to achieve three treatment targets to prevent diabetes related complications. The care processes include checks on blood glucose and body mass index, to support weight management. Delivery of all eight care processes is associated with reduced emergency admissions, amputations, and retinopathy. NHS England commissions two national lifestyle services to support adults with type 2 diabetes to manage their weight and improve their health and wellbeing. These are the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme and the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme. The NICE guidance for the care and management for adults with type 2 diabetes is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28</a></p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 30/04/2024 16:33:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
