DIABETES UK'S 'MISSING MILLION' CAMPAIGN
EDM number 821 in 1999-00, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 08/06/2000.
That this House notes that there are an estimated one million people in the United Kingdom with undiagnosed diabetes, and that untreated diabetes can result in heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and neuropathy leading to amputations; further notes that diabetes and its complications cost the NHS ú4.9 billion a year, and that early intervention can delay or prevent complications, saving resources and lives; and urges Her Majesty's Government to support Diabetes UK's 'Missing Million' campaign by directing resources to diagnosis and intervention, including a national screening programme for diabetes.
This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
