Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the quality of care provision for people with diabetes in (a) NHS Coventry and Rugby Clinical Commissioning Group and (b) England.

There are two Clinical Commissioning Group Improvement and Assessment Framework (CCG IAF) indicators on which CCGs are given a Red, Amber or Green rating. Ratings are combined to give an overall diabetes rating for individual CCGs. The indicators are as follows:

- Diabetes patients that have achieved all the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended treatment targets: three (HbA1c, cholesterol and blood pressure) for adults and one (HbA1c) for children; and

- People with diabetes diagnosed less than a year ago who attend a structured education course.

The overall diabetes rating for Coventry and Rugby CCG in the most recent 2016/17 assessment was ‘Requires Improvement’, following a Green rating for patients achieving all the NICE recommended treatment targets and a Red rating for attendances at structured education courses.

CCGs across England received the following overall ratings in relation to diabetes:

- Outstanding - 40 CCGs;

- Good - 46 CCGs;

- Requires Improvement - 102 CCGs; and

- Inadequate - 19 CCGs.
