Artificial pancreas for adults with type 1 diabetes

Thousands waiting longer for NHS treatment as target breached
Official figures show that some people have endured gaps of more than five months between being seen by their GP and being admitted to hospital, with the average wait lengthening by a full week over the past year alone.
