Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will include representatives from (a) the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, (b) the Department of Health and Social Care and (c) NHS England on his Honorary Medical Advisory Panel on driving and diabetes mellitus; and what steps he has taken to ensure that the Panel routinely seeks advice from those bodies

The membership of the panel is kept under review to ensure that it is fully represented by members with a wide range of skills and expertise in Diabetes Mellitus.

The panel routinely uses the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines to help inform the medical standards of fitness to drive and often invites guest speakers and representatives from other medical organisations to obtain more information on a specific topic.
