Dr Jacquie Lavin, Head of Nutrition and Research at Slimming World says that the organisation welcomes the renewed focus and emphasis on helping, encouraging and incentivising NHS staff and employers to promote healthy lifestyles.

"Lifestyle weight management organisations with an extensive network of community based groups across the country are best placed to support doctors and nurses both in their own struggles with weight as well as support their patients. The biggest role for health professionals lies with raising the issue of weight with patients sensitively and in motivating those who struggle with their weight to want to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

"Acknowledging that the NHS cannot work alone and must work in partnership with a wide range of organisations across all sectors is a huge step forward in tackling obesity together."
