We need to do more to support patients with long term conditions and to enable older<br />

people to live more independently<br />

In NW London there are big differences in the level of care given to people with long term<br />

conditions and the specialist services available to them out of hospital, for example leading<br />

to significant variations in the specialist support given to diabetic patients and the level of<br />

amputation rates suffered by them 14 . Figures 4.2 and 4.3 show the variations in funding<br />

levels across the different PCTs in NW London for different settings of care and on long-term<br />

conditions.<br />
