Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of Tier 3 Weight Management Services in tackling rising levels of childhood obesity.
We are committed to ongoing evaluation of the impact of weight management services. The National Obesity Audit, due to be launched in 2022, will collect patient level information and analyse robust comparative data from the different types of services which support people to manage their weight. This will include assessment of the efficacy of children’s tier 3 weight management services.
