A Bill to require the Secretary of State to ensure that all diabetic patients are identified on admittance to hospital and have their diabetes condition monitored while in hospital by a specialist diabetes team; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons

If passed, the bill would require the government to ensure that every person admitted to hospital who has diabetes is identified on arrival and their diabetes is monitored during their stay by a dedicated diabetes team. This aims to improve inpatient care and reduce diabetes-related complications by giving specialists oversight of diabetes management in hospital.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to committee stage for detailed scrutiny.
