The Federal Government is under attack for cutting a health prevention program aimed at helping Australians with a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Australia says the Government is taking a short-term view with an eye to its budget surplus but will be forced to shell out more money in the longer-term.
The Government allocated $200 million over four years to implement a program designed to identify patients at high risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
