The standard of care for diabetes in England is "depressingly poor", causing unnecessary deaths and disabilities, a parliamentary committee says.

The Public Accounts Committee came to the conclusion after looking at how well the NHS was doing at helping patients manage their condition.

Previous reports have criticised the lack of checks being carried out, such as blood pressure, eye and foot exams.

But the government said services were better than they were being portrayed.
