Commenting on a report by Diabetes UK, entitled Reverse the Trend, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister, Sam Rowlands MS said:
“The latest data on the rising prevalence of diabetes in Wales is extremely concerning.
“While it isn’t the state’s role to mandate behaviour or to delve excessively into our lives with legislation, it is in everyone’s best interest to prioritise our health with positive lifestyle choices.
“The Welsh Conservatives urge the Labour Welsh Government to take on board Diabetes UK’s recommendations, particularly those that pertain to diabetes prevention and the Welsh NHS, like supporting innovative new technologies to improve care.”
