3. Recognises that work is underway to recover routine services for people with diabetes following the impact of the pandemic.

4. Recognises the commitment that exists within the NHS in Wales to:

a) ensure that people are supported to make healthy choices which reduce their likelihood of developing type-2 diabetes;

b) make progress towards offering those diagnosed with type-2 diabetes in the last six years the opportunity to access a remission service;

c) ensure accessible and patient-centred care for people with diabetes, as well as the use of technology and education to help them better manage their condition.

5. Notes that work is underway with stakeholders to develop a diabetes quality statement for publication in the autumn.
