Our response to the UK Government’s Levelling Up White Paper
The UK Government has published the Levelling Up White Paper; a document setting out their plans to tackle the country's health and economic disparities. We welcome some of the plans in the White Paper, but think the government must go further to address the stark inequalities in the prevalence of diabetes and in the treatment of people living with diabetes. Read our response to the white paper here.
