Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which local authority areas have commissioned tier 2 weight management services for the period 2014 to 2018.
Currently, there is no systematic collection of obesity services provided by local government, including tier 2 weight management services.
Public Health England (PHE) has recently undertaken a national mapping exercise of weight management services that are currently commissioned by local authorities. PHE are working with the Department to analyse the current access and provision, however this does not include future commissioning.
