CARL SARGEANT AM WELCOMES IMPROVED SUPPORT FOR ADULTS WITH DIABETES
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, is welcoming new Welsh Assembly Government guidelines which will form part of a delivery strategy for the management of adults with diabetes in Wales. Almost 5% of the population in Wales are known to have diabetes, and it is estimated that about 50,000 people with diabetes remain undiagnosed. The guidelines have been developed by the All Wales Diabetes Consensus Group and subjected to a consultation process. They aim to provide a framework to support the improvement of equity of access to high quality diabetes services throughout Wales, and assist the NHS to implement the standards set in the National Service Framework for Diabetes.Mr Sargeant said: “Getting the right support is vital in helping adults with diabetes to manage and live with their condition. Having access to the right knowledge and expertise and effective services is also of the utmost importance.“I welcome these new guidelines which are specifically designed to help the NHS in delivering high quality care for adults with diabetes right across Wales. The guidelines will help allow services to plan, organise, and deliver their care in a sustainable way.The Guidelines will also help to develop a more robust monitoring system for the delivery of the Diabetes National Service Framework with the ultimate aim of improving services and care for people with diabetes in Wales.
