The table below shows the completion rate for all eight measurable care processes assessed in the National Diabetes Audit (NDA), the number of patients completing all eight care processes and the number not completing all eight care processes. This is provided for England and the eight clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in the Lancashire area. Also provided is the participation rate for England and each CCG.

The care processes are those which the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence recommend should be part of an annual check for people with diabetes.

Data is not available in the format requested as figures on the completion of annual checks are not held centrally at county level.

The data provided is from the 2012-13 audit year.
