[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1583298, member: 32394"] I really think you should contact [URL="http://www.inputdiabets.org"]www.inputdiabets.org[/URL] to get some clarity on the CCG funding pumps issue. They are pretty sensible and helpful it would be worth emailing and asking your question to them. Your CCG will remain the same no matter what hospital you are at. Your CCG is where you live and where you GP practice is. GPs usually can only take patients from a pretty narrow geographic circumference, so if you've moved and not found a new GP practice you really ought to get that sorted. My understanding is CCGs fund pumps based on clinical recommendation and there is not much in it cost wise between a tubed pump - where all the cost (~£3,000) is up front and then there are relatively consumable costs of cannulas and reservoirs - and patch pumps - where the up front cost is comparatively low but the cost of consumables is significantly higher. This document suggests the mean annual cost of omnipod as against a tubed pump is pretty much the same - [URL]http://ntag.nhs.uk/docs/rec/NTAG-Recommendation-Omnipod-CSII-system-for-Type1-diabetes.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
