The Health Service Executive has informed me that the Midlands Diabetes Care Programme has been extensively evaluated since its initiation and to date three detailed audits have taken place with the third audit due for launch and publication in the coming weeks. The audits have consistently demonstrated extremely positive results which compare very favourably with international best practice in diabetes care. The findings of these studies will inform the work of the new National Diabetes Programme recently set up in the Quality and Clinical Care Directorate.
