Last week some of the IPAG team met with @jackiebmsp the MSP for Dumbarton, she is also the Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Health and Care.
(Fun Fact Jackie has been an MSP since @ScotParl began)
We discussed the changes to funding for type 1 1/2

An appeal to @ScotGovFM @AConstance23 @theSNP to kindly reconsider the decision around funding for #T1Diabetes and #Technology 🏴
We are happy to share data from across @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk re data, impact and benefits 🏴
We cannot and should not have variable care across the 4 countries 🇬🇧
Thank you for considering please 🙏🏽
#gbdoc 💙
We have signed the open letter sent by @DiabetesScot to the @ScotGovFM and Health Secretary @AConstance23

I had massive concerns after we (as @iPAG_Scot) found out that centralised funding for the roll-out of hybrid closed loop technology was being withdrawn. I contacted now former local list MSP, @FoysolChoudhury, to ask an urgent question to the minister responsible, @jenni_minto

No photo this time but another successful IPAG north meet up at Cup Cafe. We discussed stigma, #LylasLaw, living with & peoples understanding of T1. Also what the charities are doing for us & the need for @iPAG_Scot to serve the needs of the T1 community. @NiVZ

Thousands of you have already stepped forward with incredible offers of help, and I am so deeply grateful. I have said just your signing and sharing of the Lyla’s Law petition is enough. But the fight isn’t over and it’s now urgent.
I now know what I need to ask of all those who said they’d do anything to help. Please print off Lyla’s Law posters and display them anywhere you’re allowed! Shop windows, community boards, schools, gyms, workplaces, places of worship because every single space, as well as minute matters.
Please email me if you want posters that you can cheekily print off. If your boss says what are you doing that for? Tell them it is for the greater good.
Every poster is a voice for Lyla. Every display is a chance to reach someone new. Together, we can turn compassion into action and make sure this petition is impossible to ignore.
Your support has already moved mountains. Let’s keep going. For Lyla, for Peter, for Eli and many others that have been dismissed and died. For the thousands a year dismissed by the GP and diagnosed in critical care. For justice, for desperately needed change.

It's for the right reasons.
