To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his policy is on promoting the use of (a) disposable sensors and (b) other alternatives to glucose blood-testing strips for diabetes patients.
NHS England is not aware of any published data which demonstrates that disposable sensors are more effective or less expensive than current methods of self-monitoring of blood glucose.
However, it will consider any relevant studies relating to alternatives to blood testing strips for diabetes patients when they are published.
