  7. Diabetes Physician Workforce per 100 000 pop Mean 0.35

  8. Recommended Diabetes Physician Workforce • 77 hours per week for outpatient diabetes + administration per 250,000 population. • This equates to 1FTE per 125,000 population or 0.8FTE per 100,000 population • Based on data from “Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom. Census of consultant physicians in the UK, 2006. Data and commentary. Suffolk: Lavenham Press, 2007.”

Conclusion • There is significant variation in the provision of diabetes specialist physician services between DHB's. • The national mean is 0.35 FTE Diabetes Specialist Physicians per 100,000 population. • The total Diabetes Specialist Physician FTE for New Zealand is 14.5 • No DHB has a Diabetes Specialist Physician service that is at or above that recommended by the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom. • New Zealand requires 19.4 more Diabetes Specialist Physician FTE's to meet recommended numbers.
