NHS England have no plans to create a national framework for a diabetes pathway to support people with learning difficulties.

Integrated care boards are responsible for planning and commissioning diabetes care locally, in line with local population need and diabetes care pathways, these will vary by local systems and so cannot be nationally prescribed.
