Just had this email from Abbott about the Libre
FREESTYLE LIBRE SYSTEM REIMBURSEMENT WILL ARRIVE ON THE 1ST NOVEMBER 2017.
We are very pleased to announce, subject to local health economy approval, the FreeStyle Libre system will be available for reimbursement via the NHS as of 1st November 2017.
We are working with local health authorities to ensure that eligible people with diabetes who inject insulin multiple times each day can start benefiting from the FreeStyle Libre system.
FOR MORE INFORMATION TALK TO YOUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL AT YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT.
What does this announcement mean?
This announcement means that from the 1st November 2017, the FreeStyle Libre sensor is available on prescription via the NHS, subject to suitability. In the first instance, you should go and speak to the Health Care Professional who normally treats your diabetes to discuss suitability for you and availability in your area.
If you are given a prescription for the FreeStyle Libre sensor you will fulfil it in the same way as your other medications and supplies via a pharmacy from the 1st November, 2017.
The FreeStyle Libre reader is not available via prescription and will be provided free of charge via a Health Care Professional based on suitability and availability in your area.
The FreeStyle Libre system will still be available to purchase via FreeStylelibre.co.uk.
Your experiences in using the FreeStyle Libre system have been essential during this period of negotiation and have helped ensure that that people with diabetes are given access to this innovative technology. We are hugely grateful for your support.
