NHS DIABETES INFORMATION PRESCRIPTIONS

Early day motion 743, tabled 28 January 2015 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House supports the NHS recommendation that GPs give diabetic patients A4 print-outs detailing necessary steps in managing their condition effectively; is concerned that only a third of people with diabetes have their condition under good control; commends innovative measures, like this one, taken by the NHS to improve that figure; and calls on the Government to consider further steps to assist patients in managing their conditions, such as recruiting more specialised nursing staff for community hospitals and GP surgeries.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 3, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
