[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1559397, member: 30007"] This is where the devil is in the detail. The criteria for acceptance is dependent on [I]each local health authority or CCG[/I]. This means that each of them sets their own. I've spoken to the team at Guy's and St Thomas' in London and they have pre-emptively put together a pathway for the South East London formulary, which is what makes these prescribable for this region's CCGs. The CCGs then adhere to the guidance. They've been struggling to make put in place something that allows access for those who use very little SMBG (for whom it could be life changing), as well as those who would obviously benefit, without excluding those who pay for it themselves and therefore don't appear to need it paying for based on clinical results. They have to be very careful, in the absence of a NICE guideline, if they want to make it available to as many as possible. Fortunately, they are trying to do that in this case. The final piece of information they needed for submission to the committee was sensor cost, which has been stated as £35, so they can now take it the last step. We'll have to wait and see. [/QUOTE]
