Home enteral tube feeding in East Anglia

The administration of home enteral tube feeding (HETF) helps seriously disabled patients. A study in East Anglia, UK, indicated that the uneven district-wise distribution of HETF is possibly due to variations in the available support staff and local expertise. The quality of care was not always in accordance with standards set by the British Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the King's Fund report.
