Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what guidance they will provide to Clinical Commissioning Groups for making available the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitoring system to all diabetics who require it.

In January 2018, NHS England issued guidance in the form of a letter to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) concerning the provision of glucose monitoring devices. The guidance states that the treatment of diabetes and the provision of glucose monitoring devices is a service commissioned by individual CCGs. Local CCGs are responsible for deciding how they allocate resources dependant on the needs of their local population. A copy of this guidance has been attached.
