To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to ensure that people with diabetes receive timely and appropriate access to structured education and support.
Answer
As part of the Scottish Diabetes Group, we have a sub-group focusing on education; the Scottish Diabetes Education Advisory Group (SDEAG). SDEAG are currently developing ‘Once for Scotland’ pathways for diabetes education and supported self-management. These pathways will highlight the education opportunities and resources which should be available for every person with a diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes in Scotland.
We have established Type 1 and Type 2 Short Life Working Groups, with clinical representation from every NHS Board as well as from third sector organisations. The pathway development is being done in collaboration with people living with diabetes, through our Diabetes Lived Experience Network hosted by the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE).

To ask the Scottish Government what impact it anticipates the Deposit Return Scheme will have on consumer choice.
Answer
Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme will make a significant contribution to Scotland’s efforts to reduce climate emissions, tackle litter and increasing recycling. As it is a producer responsibility scheme, in line with similar schemes across the world, it inevitably means significant change for all producers in Scotland.
Drinks producers must register their products in order to continue to sell them in Scotland once DRS has launched. Registration is free for producers with an annual turnover of £85,000 or lower. As an industry-led scheme, it will be for individual businesses to decide what products they wish to sell in Scotland once DRS launches. Any producer with questions or concerns about registration should contact Circularity Scotland for advice and guidance.
