Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) - Type 2 diabetes
NDM7552 Jenny
Rathbone (Cardiff Central)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes:
a) that Wales has the highest rates of type 2
diabetes anywhere in western Europe, with over 200,000 diagnosed, an estimated
65,000 with undiagnosed type 2, and a further 500,000 at risk of contracting
diabetes;
b) that caring for people with diabetes already
consumes 10 per cent of the NHS budget;
c) the heightened risks of catching COVID-19 for
citizens who have diabetes as a pre-existing condition; and
d) the success and cost effectiveness of the
award-winning Nutrition Skills for Life programme piloted in the Afan Valley.
2. Urges the Welsh Government to mainstream the
Nutrition Skills for Life programme throughout Wales as a central element of a
Welsh diabetes prevention plan.
