The Diabetes Policy and Services Review Steering Group made up of representatives from the Department of Health, the Health Service Executive (HSE), and Diabetes Ireland, was established in July 2024 to lead on the Diabetes Policy and Services Review.

A broader stakeholder group was also established to support the work of the review. This group included representatives from a wide range of medical and healthcare professions as well as patient advocates.

The stakeholder group held their first meeting on the 3rd of July 2024. Further meetings were held on the 26th of September 2024 and the 21st of November 2024.

The Diabetes Policy and Services Review report has been drafted and submitted to the Department of Health for consideration. Decisions on the next steps in relation to the report will follow this consideration.
