To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been tested for diabetes under the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been tested for diabetes under the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme.
The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) is for individuals diagnosed as high risk of type 2 diabetes, with a high blood sugar recorded in the past 12 months either through a National Health Service health check or other means. NHS DPP does not test for diabetes but rather offers support to those at risk of type 2 diabetes.
I congratulate the hon. Gentleman, the hon. Member for Eddisbury (Antoinette Sandbach) and all others who have been involved with the all-party group. When my child died at term, 23 years ago, we did not have a bereavement suite in Leicester, although we do now. The issue is not just...

As the Leader of the House will know, this Sunday marks the start of Diabetes Awareness Week. Will he join me in congratulating Diabetes UK on this important campaign? Although 3 million people have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, including myself, 1 million people still do not know that...

The Government were absolutely right to start screening on 14 October. May I urge the Secretary of State to resist calls from those who say that screening is not effective and should stop? This was not a direct flight: it went through Casablanca. Although we have put a lot of...

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his policy is on promoting the use of (a) disposable sensors and (b) other alternatives to glucose blood-testing strips for diabetes patients.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his policy is on promoting the use of (a) disposable sensors and (b) other alternatives to glucose blood-testing strips for diabetes patients.
NHS England is not aware of any published data which demonstrates that disposable sensors are more effective or less expensive than current methods of self-monitoring of blood glucose.
However, it will consider any relevant studies relating to alternatives to blood testing strips for diabetes patients when they are published.
The Home Secretary is right to say that progress has been made during the past year, but will she help me on one point? Where a British citizen has been found to be involved in terrorist-related activities in a foreign country, is it right that we will no longer seek...

Evidence suggests that the biggest pressure on young jihadists comes not from organisations, but from peer groups. What is missing is that we have not yet got into the DNA of trying to deal with peer group pressure. Does my right hon. Friend not agree that we should direct more...

It is a pleasure to follow the right hon. and learned Member for Beaconsfield (Mr Grieve), whose excellent and thoughtful speech leads me to conclude that were he still the Attorney-General, the Bill would not have appeared before the House in the form it has. I hope he makes it...

The Home Secretary is right that she is due to appear before us in two weeks’ time, but the legislation will probably have passed through the House by then. If a piece of emergency legislation is coming before us, as it is now, Ministers should put themselves before the relevant...

I thank my hon. Friend, although that also happened with a Government of whom we were both Members; it is a feature of the way in which Governments tend to introduce counter-terrorism legislation. Indeed, as the shadow Home Secretary said, mistakes are made, and there were mistakes under the last...

Those are exactly the unintended consequences to which the right hon. and learned Member for Beaconsfield and others have referred. Of course we need powers in order to deal with those who wish to undermine the values of our society, but we need to be very careful about the way...

The hon. Gentleman has worked very hard on this issue for some years. I believe that the status quo does not work, and I have every sympathy with his proposal, which would enable the different programmes to be delivered together.
I mentioned earlier that the Home Secretary had addressed the Bangladeshi...

The hon. Gentleman is right. We need to understand much more, and we can only do so at local level: in the mosque, through community activities, in schools—as the Home Secretary said—in colleges, and in prisons. People who have not been radicalised go into those institutions and come out radicalised,...

My hon. Friend is a greater historian than I am, but our constituents would say, if they were to find out there is someone causing mischief in Kenya, as Adebolajo was, that he should be kept in Kenya if the Kenyan authorities want to prosecute him, and that we should...

My right hon. Friend has done a huge amount of work on community engagement, when in government and since then, as part of the taskforce. Drawing on all the work that she has done, what does she think is the tipping point? When does someone go from being a law-abiding...

The Minister is making a sensible and thoughtful speech and his tone is absolutely right. May I put to him a point that I put to my right hon. Friend the Member for Salford and Eccles (Hazel Blears)? Has any research been done on the tipping point and the moment...

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been screened for the Ebola virus in the UK following the recent implementation of screening procedures.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people have been screened for the Ebola virus in the UK following the recent implementation of screening procedures.
As at 23:59 on 17 November, a total of 931 passengers had been assessed at ports with enhanced screening operations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, where screening for the Ebola virus is taking place in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, where screening for the Ebola virus is taking place in the UK.
Enhanced screening operations are in place at London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester airports, and London St Pancras train station. Entry screening at these ports is estimated to cover 97% of through ticketed arrivals from affected countries.
Other ports of entry are covered remotely when Border Force notify of passengers travelling to the United Kingdom on indirect flights. Similarly, ships are met at ports when we have been informed of their arrival in advance, and they have docked in a country of interest within the last 21 days.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what procedures beyond initial screening exist to ensure that people entering the UK from West Africa are not carrying the Ebola virus.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what procedures beyond initial screening exist to ensure that people entering the UK from West Africa are not carrying the Ebola virus.
Anyone flying from an affected country in West Africa is subject to exit screening overseen by the World Health Organization, which prevents those with symptoms consistent with Ebola from flying. All those who are assessed at screening in the United Kingdom as being at high risk because of their exposure history are asked to monitor their temperature twice daily and report this on a daily basis to the local health protection team for 21 days from the date they left a country of interest (currently Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone). Those who are considered at low risk are asked to monitor their temperature twice daily and report any rise in temperature to their local health protection team. As requested, local health protection teams will also follow up with particular individuals.
