Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Obesity.


Obesity

Type 2 diabetes is one of those hidden diseases that some people do not know they have. The indications are that there will be a 50% increase in the number of diabetics in the next couple of years. Does my hon. Friend believe that diabetes itself needs a direct Government plan in order for that issue to be addressed, because it is a hidden disease that can kill?
