Obesity And Diabetes

EDM number 820 in 2012-13, proposed by Keith Vaz on 05/12/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Health education and preventive medicine and Obesity.

That this House welcomes the recommendation by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence for the introduction of further bicycle-hire schemes and recommending cycling and walking for short journeys of less than 20 minutes; notes that an NHS survey published in 2012 found that just over a quarter of all adults in England are obese and around one in seven children; further notes that obesity is a leading factor in the development of type 2 diabetes and that even a modest reduction in weight brings important health benefits, reducing the risk of the condition; and calls on the Departmentfor Transport to evaluate the possibility of further bicycle-hire schemes to encourage more individuals to cycle.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
