Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Keith Vaz (Labour), on Monday, 24 November 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 38 members in total.
DIABETES PRESCRIPTIONS
That this House is deeply worried by reports that NHS patients are having vital diabetes prescriptions refused or restricted; is aware these prescriptions are vital to provide diabetics knowledge of their blood-sugar reading to prevent serious health problems; notes these refusals and restrictions are reportedly part of cost-saving measures; further notes the Department of Health has previously requested that access to such prescriptions is not restricted; and calls on the Government to ensure these dangerous and counter-productive practices are stopped and diabetics have access to necessary medication.
