To ask the Scottish Executive whether the drive to improve the co-ordination and delivery of diabetes services will be undermined if diabetes managed clinical networks operate without paid staff.
Answer
The principles for managed clinical networks were set out in HDL (2002) 69, which made it clear that networks must be supported by paid administrative and managerial staff, whether working exclusively for a single network or as part of a team supporting a range of networks. The question of a network operating without paid staff should not arise.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the likely impact will be on local service planning if a local diabetes managed clinical network is operated on a mainly voluntary basis.
Answer
The Executive expects NHS boards to provide appropriate management and administrative support to enable diabetes managed clinical networks to function effectively. Managed clinical networks by their nature seek to involve all those with an interest in the condition or patient group. Most of these people will not expect to receive additional payment for their involvement in the managed clinical network.
