Irene Campbell

Labour — North Ayrshire and Arran

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 March 2026

Debate

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for raising that point. Yes, I agree. That sounds like a very good way to take this forward. The petition and the surrounding conversation can serve as a call for change, not only for young children and infants but for all undiagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes who are at risk of their condition leading to dangerous complications. In the words of the petitioner, “Lyla was bright, full of life, and had her whole future ahead of her. But in a matter of days, everything changed. She became unwell, and like so many parents, we trusted the system to protect her. That trust was misplaced. By the time her condition was recognised, it was too late.” I look forward to other hon. Members’ contributions and to the Minister’s response.
