To generate a public policy environment where obesity is recognised and prioritised; hold government to account for the delivery of an obesity strategy; call for joined up commissioning that addresses obesity and delivers value for money; and use parliamentary means to provide focus across key elements of the pathway.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
