In September 2019 Sláintecare Integration funding was allocated to the HSE to design and procure a National Diabetes Registry demonstrator product and develop a full specification plan for a National Diabetes Registry. However, the project was paused as it was dependent on the input and expertise of key HSE staff who were redeployed onto urgent on-going COVID-19 work.

Following engagement with the HSE and with Diabetes Ireland, Budget 2023 provides the resources necessary to commence the work towards building the national registry. The funds allocated will permit the full scoping and design of the registry, the first stage in what is anticipated to be a multi-year project.
