City diabetes care branded "disgraceful" (Southampton!)

[Northerner]

DIABETES care in Southampton is so poor that patients have been forced to transfer themselves to Bournemouth, a leading expert has claimed.

Professor Roy Taylor has slammed diabetic care in the city as ?disgraceful? after being told by colleagues in Bournemouth that they were getting a number of referrals from Southampton patients, who felt there was a ?major problem? with the standard of care they had received.

Giving evidence to MPs Prof Taylor, one of the UK?s leading experts who has carried out groundbreaking studies into diabetes, said there had been a ?complete disintegration? of specialist care available in the city.
