Moving to Norfolk

[pegletbee]

Hello pumpers, it's a while since I've visited the forum, but I have a question.
At the moment I live in Northumberland, where the health authority accepted me and my pump when I moved here from the Netherlands in 2010. The process was slow, but relatively simple and funding was not too much of an issue as I had already had my pump for 2 years in NL.
Now I am planning a move south to Norfolk to live nearer to my daughter, and I wondered if anybody has experience of the health authority there as regards pump therapy. Is funding a problem? What's the coverage like? - at the moment I have to travel over 40 miles if I want an appointment with somebody who can help me with my pump management, and my control is suffering somewhat as a result. Any helpful info would be welcome.
Thanks.

The Norfolk and Norwich university hospital seem to be fairly pro active about pumps i think, one of the diabetic specialist doctors has one himself which probably helps. I asked about getting one in july last year, had my pump assessment appointment in January this year and have my appointment to get set up with one in April, so very impressed so far.
