Anyone remember when one of our members was trying to get a petition up for test strips in light of the fact that the Chief of the NHS had recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes?

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/petition-to-david-nicholson.44393/page-2

Individual forum members e-mailed him with little success and the petition did not get the numbers that were hoped for.

It has been announced that he will be retiring soon and he has said that it was a matter of profound regret that the NHS was letting down so many sick and elderly people, as he announced his retirement with a £2 million pound pension pot.

He was in charge when the Mid Staffs Hospital scandal erupted.

He has recently been named as having enjoyed overpriced hotels, travel and food at the expense of the NHS. He was not alone in this, they all had a jolly good time at the taxpayer's expense.

He has recently written an article for Diabetes Uk detailing how he has got his diabetes under control. This would include testing for him so when your GP refuses you test strips or an expensive medication, just think of how this man has behaved. He was in charge of the NHS.
