EUROPEAN DIABETES LEADERSHIP FORUM

That this House congratulates the OECD and Danish Diabetes Association on their hosting of the European Diabetes Leadership Forum in Copenhagen; welcomes the Copenhagen Road Map containing practical solutions for Europe to address the diabetes epidemic, produced by the forum attendees, which included governmental figures, private sector organisations and diabetes specialists; and urges the Government to build on the momentum of Denmark's commitment to addressing diabetes and chronic diseases during its European presidency, and to follow best practice outlined in the Copenhagen Road Map to tackle this problem which costs the NHS 1 million an hour.
