Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if his Department will launch a public campaign to stem the rise in the number of people with Type 2 diabetes.
Public Health England in partnership with NHS England and Diabetes UK are currently developing proposals for a nationally scaled diabetes prevention programme. This will consider the contribution of public campaigns to raise awareness of the risks of Type 2 diabetes and the lifestyle modifications that can prevent and reduce risk.
