Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to increase access to the NHS Diabetes Prevention programme in (a) East Ham and (b) the UK.
The NHS Five Year Forward View set out NHS England’s commitment to support up to 100,000 people per annum on the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) by 2020. NHS England anticipates reaching this level of delivery in 2019/20, and programme capacity will be made available across England according to local population need and service demand. NHS England has now secured funding to continue providing the NHS DPP up to 2021/22.
