I'm getting a bit of 'flack' from my HA for voicing local GPs
opposition to a diabetic centre at the local trust. I think the
director of public health got a tad upset when I pointed out that one
of his main initiatives was to improve equality and equity of access
to health services and a diabetic centre wouldn't really fufill
this objective for diabetics who live at the HAs periphery.
I pointed out that there are 41 diabetic centres i.e. surgeries and
perhaps some investment in them was more appropriate.
Also raised an objection to a district diabetic register on the
grounds of patient confidentiality and unnecessary bureacracy.
Any arguments for or against a central diabetic centre and register
welcome.
