Diabetes Scotland have sent an open letter to the Scottish Government requesting they reconsider the decision to withdraw central funding for hybrid closed loop systems for people living with type 1 diabetes.

In April 2026, the Scottish Government announced that centralised funding for hybrid closed loop systems will end with effect from 2026/27.

“Hybrid closed loop systems are not a ‘nice to have’ - they are life-changing for people living with type 1 diabetes. Removing central funding risks creating unacceptable inequalities in access across Scotland and places additional pressure on already stretched local services.

"Diabetes Scotland is calling on the Scottish Government to reinstate sustainable national funding and protect equitable access to this vital technology for everyone who could benefit from it.”

If you agree that there must be centralised funding for hybrid closed loop systems - contact YOUR MSP and ask them to RECONSIDER, to support Diabetes Scotland.
