A number of constituents have written to me regarding
"The DVLA are stalling on new diabetes monitoring technology ."
Diabetes as we all know is a debilitating disease which
afflicts the lives of many people. I have direct experience as a close family
member has the condition.
The latest monitoring technology has transformed the
lives of many people, helping them live better lives with much improved
control.
This should be recognised by the DVLA. Whilst offering
general guidance for the wide spectrum of the condition is a complex matter, I
will be asking ministers and their staff to ensure progress is made to bring
the guidance up to date.
