To ask the Scottish Government whether it is aware of any NHS boards that have stopped providing specialist podiatry care for people with diabetes.
The Scottish Government is not aware of any NHS Board that has stopped providing specialist podiatry care for people with diabetes. NHS Scotland’s Podiatry Service assesses and treats patients based on individual healthcare needs rather than specific medical conditions. As such, no medical condition is automatically deemed to require ongoing general NHS podiatry care.
