[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1845233, member: 245335"] Confusing, although I can see now that the Welsh Assembly have this idea of "One Wales" which implies the cost of anything CCGs do is spread over all of them. Northern Ireland is slightly different in that their 18 HSC Trusts (Health and Social Care) were re-organised into 5 geographic HSC Trusts with an objective of co-operation (bit like Wales). Maybe England should take lessons? Also noticed that Birmingham and Solihull CCG is the largest CCG in England with 1.2 million patients. Wolverhampton on the other hand only has 262,000 registered patients. Almost as barmy as constituency sizes. Not sure if you seen the policy document, makes interesting reading, especially where they try and justify their decision. There is a glimmer of hope though, especially as some CCGs are already recognising the the cost in comparison to the alternatives including test strips and complications. [I]"The CCG will only fund this treatment if an Individual Funding Request (IFR) application proves exceptional clinical need and is supported by the CCG." [/I] A friend of mine has had to do that here in the Chiltern CCG for funding for a knee replacement, something he had urgently needed for 5 years. He had a good GP that had to put forward a good argument. Not really fair that one CCG can think they have good cause to deny funding whereas others are OK with it, whether CGM or knees or whatever.
