DIABETES IN THE UK

That this House is concerned by the latest research showing the number of new cases of diabetes rose by 74 per cent. between 1997 and 2003 and is increasing at a faster rate in the UK than in North America; welcomes the Government's introduction of the Reduce Your Risk and the Change4Life campaigns which aim to reduce rising disease rates by encouraging people to live healthily by helping them to make significant and sustained choices to behaviours around diet and physical activity; and calls on the Government to work with Diabetes UK to tackle this increase and ensure that diabetes services are able to fully support all those living with the condition.
