Diabetes
(asked on 5th February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on the proportion of (a) children and (b) adults who were Type 2 diabetic in (i) London and (ii) England in (A) 2016 and (B) 2017.
Data on the number of children with Type 2 diabetes in London and England for the years 2016 and 2017 is not centrally held.
NHS Digital was able to provide the following data that details the number of people (aged 17 and over) and the proportion of the total population (aged 17 and over) with Type 2 and other diabetes in London and England in the period 2016-17. The data was collected as part of the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) 2016-17.
NHS England London region (32 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs))
Numerator | Number of people (17+) with Type 2 and other diabetes | 434,069 |
Denominator | Number of people (17+) registered with a general practitioner (GP) practice1 | 7,379,940 |
|
| 5.88% |
Note:
1London GP list sizes for people aged 17 and over (for practices who participated in the NDA 2016-17), taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF).
England (207 CCGs, plus people with no recorded CCG)
Numerator | Number of people (17+) with Type 2 and other diabetes | 2,678,711 |
Denominator | Number of people (17+) registered with a GP practice1 | 44,619,087 |
|
| 6.00% |
Note:
1England GP list sizes for people aged 17 and over (for practices who participated in the NDA 2016-17), taken from the QOF.
Definitions:
- Aged 17 and over is used for this measure because the list sizes in the denominator are based on the QOF which uses the aged 17 and over population.
- The denominators are limited to the GP practices that participated in the NDA 2016-17 (95.3% GP practice participation across England and Wales). A small number of GP practice list sizes do not appear in QOF and, therefore, do not appear in the denominator(s).
