Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with GPs and clinical bodies on improving the rate at which diabetics take their medications.

The appropriate use of prescribed medication for diabetes, and any actions to support this, can form part of the annual reviews between general practitioners and their diabetes patients. NHS England is also overseeing the investment of diabetes transformation funding towards improved access to diabetes structured education within individual clinical commissioning groups.
