answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme was developed to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes in adults in England already identified to be at high risk of type 2 diabetes and was launched in April 2016. Analysis of the first year of the programme showed significantly higher attendance rates in the most deprived quintile compared to the least deprived quintile, 72 per 100,000 population versus 60 per 100,000 population. This suggests that the programme is reaching those who are most at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 22/05/2018 15:37:24 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
