Diabetes-related Complications

Proceeding contribution from Paula Sherriff (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2016. It occurred during Debate on Diabetes-related Complications.

I thank the hon. Lady for her intervention, and I absolutely agree. As with so many other conditions, early intervention is crucial.

The total direct and indirect costs associated with diabetes in the UK are estimated at £23.7 billion. That is predicted to rise to £39.8 billion by 2035. Earlier this year, the Public Accounts Committee said that the cost of diabetes to the NHS would continue to rise.
