There are an estimated 2.35m people with diabetes in England and this is predicted to grow to more than 2.5m by 2010. The diabetes NSF is a concerted effort to make sure these people, wherever they live, receive the same excellent standard of care. Embodied in the NSF is the central value of the NHS Plan—that good service is the outcome of genuine partnership between the patient and the provider. The NSF, launched in 1999, should substantially reduce the suffering caused by diabetes.
The Diabetes National Service Framework set out the first ever set of national standards for the treatment of diabetes to raise the quality of NHS services and reduce unacceptable variations between them. This report highlights progress over the first three years following the publication of the NSF Delivery Strategy.
