Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Bool and Wes Streeting

Tuesday 17th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Bool (South Northamptonshire) (Con)]

In Prime Minister’s questions last week, I raised the need for a universal national screening programme for type 1 diabetes. Will the Secretary of State agree to meet me to discuss this, so that it could form part of the 10-year plan, given that it fits so neatly into prevention of issues such as diabetic ketoacidosis over treatment?

[Wes Streeting]

I was in the Chamber to hear the hon. Member’s question. Obviously we are led by clinical advice when it comes to decisions on screening programmes, but I understand the case she makes. I would be delighted to ensure that she gets a meeting with the relevant Minister.
