NHS West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group Case for Change Lack of a comprehensive obesity strategy; Current programmes (e.g. Vascular checks) for early detection of Diabetes have had variable impact; Significant variance in Primary care (Level 1 and Level 2); No increase in Primary care capacity to meet rise in prevalence; Lack of ‘workforce planning ‘ for Diabetes in West Kent; Services like specialist nursing, diabetic podiatry, dietetics are mainly secondary care based - both expensive and fails to reach patients who need these services in the community;

NHS West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group Case for Change continued Diabetic related preventable non-elective admissions are on the rise and consuming a lot of resources; Most secondary care based diabetes services are based on activity rather than outcomes; The financial risks to the CCG related to the above points are worsening each year with the rise in planned, unplanned and Prescription costs; It is estimated that only 15% of Diabetic patients meet the 3 ‘Best Practice Targets’ (Hba1c 6.5, Cholesterol <4mmol & BP < 135/80).
