NHS Diabetes reports that an international study has outlined positive NHS performance for people with diabetes, with improvements seen in areas such as the number of diabetes-related unplanned hospital admissions.

The 'Health at a Glance' report was published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It is the sixth report of its kind, providing comparative data on different aspects of the performance of health systems in OECD countries.

Despite noted positive performance in diabetes and in other areas, including some aspects of mental health care, vaccinations and preventative care, the report found that England is still falling below other countries for some outcomes for cancer, stroke and respiratory disease, despite spending more on healthcare than the OECD average.
