To ask the Scottish Government what progress there has been in implementing an early glycaemic intensification strategy for people with diabetes, as outlined in its 2014 Diabetes Improvement Plan.
Answer
Our Type 1 subgroup of the Scottish Diabetes Group (SDG) has reviewed early intensification strategies and evaluated the outcomes.
A national curriculum is being developed, outlining what patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes should understand at set checkpoints. This will include lesson plans and support materials. This will link with the creation of a ‘national expectations of care’ document which will include the setting of early glycaemic targets.

To ask the Scottish Government at what capacity mother and baby inpatient units at (a) St John's and (b) Leverndale Hospital have been operating in each year since 2011, from which NHS board areas people were admitted during that period, and how many.
Answer
Data on the capacity of mother and baby inpatient units at St John’s and Leverndale Hospital, and the NHS boards from which people were admitted, is not held by the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government expect that health boards and health and social care partnerships (HSCPs) will deliver mental health care and treatment in a person-centred manner to meet each individual’s needs.
In its Perinatal Themed Visit report in 2016, the Mental Welfare Commission made 13 recommendations to improve the recognition and treatment of perinatal mental health issues. One of these, to establish a national Managed Clinical Network, was for the Scottish Government, which we have agreed to. We will therefore fund the introduction of a Managed Clinical Network (MCN) to improve the recognition and treatment of mental health problems in the perinatal period.

To ask the Scottish Government whether the mother and baby inpatient units at (a) St John's and (b) Leverndale Hospital have had to turn people away in each year since 2011 and, if so, for what reasons.
Answer
We expect that health boards and health and social care partnerships (HSCPs) will deliver mental health care and treatment in a person-centred manner to meet each individual’s needs. This would include mother and baby units at hospitals. The Scottish Government does not hold data on whether the mother and baby units at St John's and Leverndale Hospital have had to turn people away.
