ACCESS TO FLASH GLUCOSE MONITORING

Early day motion 1852, tabled 19 November 2018 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House congratulates the decision made by NHS England on World Diabetes Day to fund flash glucose monitoring for Type 1 diabetes patients across England from April 2019; commends all individuals and organisations that have continuously campaigned to end the postcode lottery for this life changing device which reduces the need for finger-prick blood tests and can make it much easier for the millions of people with diabetes to manage their condition; and urges the Government to allow access immediately and make Flash available to Type 2 diabetes patients as well.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Conservative 3, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent 2, Green 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
