The spending review has made provision for significant transformation funding through to 2020/21, and NHS England expect this to be spent in line with priorities set out in their Mandate, including for diabetes.

To date, £11.2 million has been invested in improving the uptake of structured education, £14.9 million has been invested to increase the achievement of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended treatment targets, £9.8m has been invested to reduce amputations through new/expanded Multi-Disciplinary Footcare Teams, and £5 million has been invested to reduce the length of stay for inpatients with diabetes by providing new/increased numbers of Diabetes Inpatient Specialist Nurses and related staff.
