Action for Diabetes sets out the broad vision and direction for how NHS England will support improvements in outcomes for people with and at risk of diabetes in the coming years, as a direct commissioner of services and supporting clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in their commissioning role.<\/p>
<\/p>
Outcomes for people with diabetes will continue to be measured through the NHS Outcomes Framework and the CCG Outcomes Indicator Set, which are both updated and published annually. Outcomes for people with diabetes will also be assessed through the National Diabetes Audit, which includes the core audit, the national inpatient diabetes audit, the national diabetes pregnancy audit, the national patient experience of diabetes services survey and the national diabetes foot audit. The latter of these is due to be launched this summer.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Earl Howe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Earl Howe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-06-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-06-30T10:55:27.7697218Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Diabetes"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government how they plan to review NHS England's progress in implementing the Action for Diabetes plan.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1850", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Masham of Ilton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Masham of Ilton"} ], "uin" : "HL400"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62472", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62472/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The management of people with diabetes is measured and reported on through the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), the CCG Outcomes Indicator Set (OIS) and National Diabetes Audit. These publications and data are used by local commissioners, providers and healthcare professionals to assess the quality of the services provided and to drive improvements.<\/p>
<\/p>
General practitioners (GPs) are incentivised to ensure completion of the care processes recommended by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) through the QOF. The latest available data (2011-12) shows a 60.5% completion rate of all the eight measurable NICE-recommended care processes for diabetes. However, it is for individual GP practices, working with the CCGs in their area, to assess their own performance on completion of the care processes, and take action where improvement is necessary.<\/p>
<\/p>
CCGs can use the information reported from the OIS indicator on completion of the care processes for people with diabetes to assess progress in improvement in their area and against their peers. Where completion rates are low, CCGs can then take action jointly with other practices in their area to make improvements.<\/p>
<\/p>
To support local commissioning, NHS England has also developed a non-mandatory service specification for diabetes, based on the diabetes NICE Quality Standard, which is currently being piloted with some CCGs. The pilot will be evaluated to assess how useful the specification has been to commissioners, and this will inform decisions about its future development.<\/p>

The Patient Experience of Diabetes Services survey, part of the National Diabetes Audit, is measuring the healthcare experiences of people with diabetes in England and Wales. The survey pilot tested an online-only approach to measure patient experience in GP and specialist diabetes services.

The survey can help to raise standards and drive out variation, and also empower services to understand at a local level how satisfied their patients are with the service being provided.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Earl Howe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Earl Howe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-07-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL402"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-07-01T11:37:32.7702838Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Diabetes"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps are being taken to ensure that people with diabetes receive the care processes recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1850", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Masham of Ilton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Masham of Ilton"} ], "uin" : "HL401"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62473", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/62473/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The report includes information on rates of dependency and access to treatments. This data will be updated in 2014 and will be available in 2017.<\/p> <\/p> The Centre for Public Health, Liverpool John Moores University, published on 25 March, \u2018Updating England-specific Alcohol-attributable Fractions', with revised estimates for England showing that over 21,000 people died in 2010 and that over 900,000 people were admitted to hospital in 2010-11 for alcohol-related causes.<\/p> <\/p> Public health prevention, treatment and care in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is a matter for those Devolved Administrations.

The most recent estimates show that there were 110 drug related deaths in 2012.<\/p> <\/p> - Data on the number of drug and alcohol \u2013 related hospital admissions is collected by the Hospital Inpatient System in Northern Ireland.
