Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme will be available for all patients who require additional support.

The Digital Weight Management Programme is now available for adults with a diagnosis of diabetes and/or hypertension with a Body Mass Index of more than 30.

It is designed to complement and expand the existing range of weight management services already commissioned through both the National Health Service and local authorities. A digital approach will not be preferable or appropriate for all patients seeking support to lose weight.
