DHSC Minister backs bid for early diagnosis
The Health and Social Care Minister believes 'prevention is better than cure' when it comes to diabetes.
David Ashford has given his backing to a backbench Tynwald motion, calling for routine screening for the condition to be introduced.
Mr Ashford praised the wording of the item, for not tying his department to a formal programme.
He says awareness of the condition is down to education:
Island falls silent to remember them
Two-minute silence held to mark Remembrance Sunday
Average wait of 11 weeks for Disability Living Allowance claims
Reduction in overall average since summer
Man sexually assaulted woman as she slept on beach
Deemster brands assault "quite horrific"
Appeal for Onchan FC memorabilia
Plan to furnish new club house with memories
