EDM number 1852 in 2017-19, proposed by Keith Vaz on 19/11/2018.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Health education and preventive medicine.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
