    The Hon. Dr. Eric Hoskins Minister of Health and Long-Term Care 10th Floor, Hepburn Block 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2C4 December 9, 2014 Dear Minister Hoskins, We are writing to request an urgent meeting with you to discuss how we can partner to ensure progress in Ontario's Diabetes Strategy. We acknowledge the government investments in the Ontario Diabetes Strategy which has resulted in improved screening, prevention and treatment of some diabetes related complications in the province. However, the prevalence of one of the most devastating outcomes of diabetes -- foot ulcers and amputations -- continues to grow. Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care data shows that in fiscal year 2008/9 there were 18,341 hospitalizations in Ontario due to diabetic foot ulcers or amputations. In 2010/11 there were 33,199.1 This has direct and devastating implications for the approximately 1.46 million Ontarians with diabetes, their families, the services that support them, and the health system as a whole.2 Chief among these gaps is the fact that most Ontarians with diabetic foot complications have to pay out of pocket for the care they need, which includes preventative shoes, socks, offloading devices and chiropody/podiatry/nursing treatment. Also of critical import is that primary care screening rates for diabetic foot complications in Canada are currently the lowest among high income countries.3 Furthermore people with early signs of diabetic foot complications often have no place to go, beyond the emergency room. Unlike jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, Ontario lacks regional multidisciplinary diabetes foot care teams to perform emergency limb salvage.

As part of our assessment process, we completed a jurisprudence review and two literature reviews, which included information on foot care in other jurisdictions. We also conducted two extensive consultation programs with a broad group of stakeholders. In developing our advice, HPRAC follows a process that is thorough, timely and efficient, and reflects the principles of independence, fairness, transparency and evidence-based decision- making.
