FREESTYLE LIBRE GLUCOSE MONITORING

Early day motion 821, tabled 18 January 2018 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House recognises and welcomes the decision by the Department for Health and Social Care for making the FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitor available on the NHS; notes that there are millions of people with diabetes across the UK who will be able to benefit from the technology when it is available to all; further notes that advances in technology can only further enhance the lives of those with critical conditions; notes that not all clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) offer the technology; and calls on CCGs across the UK to make the glucose monitor truly accessible to all with diabetes.
