[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 910892, member: 17713"] Unfortunately there are a lot of probs going on in NHS... Especially GPs at the moment. Some GPs that are on PMS contracts and offer extra services are under considerable negotiations with NHS England and their CCGS. My GP Practice could lose £67k in funding.... Some hospitals are up to their eye balls in debt. If this was private businesses they would all be bankrupt.... Some CCG's restrict a lot of other drugs for a wide variety of illnesses but give pumps, cgm's and tresiba and a lot of help to diabetics.. Some have less restrictions on a large variety of drugs but have less help to diabetics. Under the FOI Act any patient can write to all their Hospitals locally and request the information on which hospitals have issued pumps, treaiba and have best results for hba1c etc.... You have the choice of hospitals to attend but the ultimate bill payers are the postcodes of where we all live.... Consultants may appear to not want to give pumps out but if the bill payers (CCGS) are restrictive on funding then their hands are tied. Behind the scenes there are a lot of changes going on in the NHS. A lot is depending on your postcodes though... It is so easy to get FOI on hospitals... And to find out the best ones to go to.. Anybody can ask to go to see a specific consultant at a specific hospital etc. For example as well. I will be moving soon to a postcode with better CCG funding and hospitals...but I am very happy with my GP service and although I will be out of their boundary area-I can still stay with them. You have to look research for yourself.. Yes, its a pain to do... But worth it.... [/QUOTE]
