Since April 2006, commissioning responsibility for prison health services has been fully devolved to the national health service primary care trusts (PCTs). PCTs work with the prison healthcare team to assess the health care needs of their population and develop services to meet those needs. There is no specific training for prison officers in the management of diabetes.Local PCTs are responsible for assuring the training of their workforce and the quality of care provided in primary care settings to their local population, which includes the offender population within publicly run prisons in their locality.All clinical staff are regulated and subject to the same standards of practice including those providing care in prisons. The standards of care expressed in the New General Medical Services Quality Outcomes Framework will be monitored, as they are in general practice, across the prison estate following the roll out of a general practitioner (GP) clinical IT system.There is no specific programme in prisons for the prevention of type II diabetes, however, in April 2009, PCTs began phased implementation of the NHS Health Check programme which aims to prevent diabetes, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. The programme is a universal and systematic programme for everyone between the ages of 40-74 that do not already have an existing vascular disease. The purpose of a NHS Health Check is to identify an individual's risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and kidney disease, for this risk to be communicated in a way that the individual understands, and for that risk to be managed by appropriate follow-up. It is the responsibility of local PCTs to consider their different communities, including offender populations, when doing so. NHS Health Checks can be carried out in a variety settings, including pharmacies, GP practices and other community settings such as prisons. This will help ensure access to the checks by prisoners.The Department does not collect the numbers of adults in prison being treated for each type of diabetes.

The Government take its advice on screening matters from the National Screening Committee. It has advised that, while whole population screening for diabetes would not be clinically nor cost effective, targeted screening in a wider context of cardiovascular risk assessment would be effective. We do not have any plans for the introduction and provision of screening for diabetes alone.However, we have introduced the NHS Health Check programme which will assess people's risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes and will support people to reduce or manage that risk through individually tailored advice. This programme is for the whole population between 40-74 that is not already on a disease register for cardiovascular disease, diabetes or kidney disease.To ensure that it contributes to tackle health inequalities, the programme has been designed so that the risk assessment element can be undertaken in a variety of settings, including community pharmacy. Phased implementation of the programme began in April and some primary care trusts (PCTs) have commissioned services from community pharmacies.To help PCTs commission the NHS Health Check programme from community pharmacies, we have been working with a number of organisations, including those representing pharmacy, to develop a number of tools. With the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee, a national template has been designed to help PCTs commission the programme from community pharmacy and is available at"www.pcc.nhs.uk/302"In association with Primary Care Contracting, a Primary Care Service Framework has been developed to assist PCTs in commissioning the NHS Health Check programme from a number of providers including community pharmacy and is available at:"www.pcc.nhs.uk/news/531"Community pharmacists are well placed to support people diagnosed with diabetes to manage their condition effectively and many are doing so. Community pharmacy can provide a range of services from blood glucose testing, blood pressure management, safe use of medicines to providing healthy lifestyle advice.

The White Paper, Pharmacy in England: Building on strengths - delivering the future, published in April 2008, is closely aligned with the Government's strategy for primary and community care, developed as part of the NHS Next Stage Review, and set out in Our vision for primary and community care. It sets out the contribution that community pharmacy can make to reducing health inequalities by identifying and managing chronic disease, such as diabetes, especially in the most deprived areas as community pharmacy services are well placed to reach groups and individuals who do not routinely use primary care or general practice. Copies of both publications have already been placed in the Library.
