Leicester Diabetes Centre

EDM number 699 in 2013-14, proposed by Keith Vaz on 11/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Health education and preventive medicine and Health services.

That this House welcomes the opening of the Leicester Diabetes Centre in Leicester General Hospital on 7 November 2013; notes that it is one of the largest diabetes centres in Europe and will enable researchers across different departments to work together on one site for the first time; further notes that Sir Steve Redgrave, himself a sufferer from diabetes, opened the centre, making it a significant event in the campaign to raise awareness for diabetes; upholds Leicester as a leading example of a city at the forefront of innovative health developments; commends the work of Professor Melanie Davies, Professor Kamlesh Khunti and Professor Azhar Farooqi OBE: recognises that there are three million adults with diabetes in the UK and a further one million who are thought to have the condition but are unaware of it; and encourages the Secretary of State for Health to visit the centre in order to highlight the prevention of diabetes as a priority for the NHS.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
