NHS Diabetes Information Prescriptions

EDM number 743 in 2014-15, proposed by Keith Vaz on 28/01/2015.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
