TV doctor calls for disease detection
TV DOCTOR Chris Steele yesterday handed in a petition to Downing Street calling on the government to help improve the diagnosis of coeliac disease, a condition he recently found out he had.
The petition, signed by 8,783 people, urges the government to find the 500,000 people in the UK who are thought to be undiagnosed sufferers, by introducing a target for diagnosis in the GP contract.
