Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether there is a dedicated programme of follow-up action for young people aged 12 to 15 who are identified as overweight or obese.

There is no dedicated programme of follow-up action aimed specifically at young people aged 12 to 15 who are identified as overweight or obese. Local authorities are responsible for commissioning effective lifestyle weight management programmes for children and young people, according to the needs of their local populations. Therefore, programmes vary across the country and are delivered by a range of organisations, in different locations, covering different age groups.
