[Diabetes Ireland @Diabetes_ie]

Diabetes Ireland is delighted to welcome the publication of the ‘Diabetes Policy and Services Review Report: A Strategy for Better Care’. The priorities outlined – including, but not limited to, improved access to care and treatment based on clinical need, enhanced psychological supports and transition services, as well as the development of a diabetes registry and audits - have the potential to significantly improve care for people living with diabetes across Ireland.

This report marks not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a significant opportunity and the very important phase of implementation. Diabetes Ireland will continue to work closely with the Department of Health and the HSE and will strongly advocate over the coming years to ensure that the priorities outlined in the strategy are fully realised for all people living with diabetes, and for those at risk of developing diabetes, throughout Ireland.

Milestone diabetes strategy launched by the Minister for Health

Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, officially launched the ‘Diabetes Policy and Services Review Report: A Strategy for Better Care’ – a landmark, strategic document, which outlines the current gaps in diabetes care provision, and priority recommendations to improve care for people with diabetes in Ireland.

According to the Minister, ‘This strategy aims to ensure that people living with all types of diabetes, regardless of their location, have equitable access to a consistently high standard of care’.
