About this work

Also known as

Call to action on obesity in England.

Description

This document announces new national ambitions for combined efforts to combat obesity: a sustained downward trend in the level of excess weight in children by 2020, and a downward trend in the level of excess weight averaged across all adults by 2020. As part of the new approach to obesity, the Government also feels it is vital that action on excess weight reduces health inequalities. It emphasises that particular attention needs to be given to specific socioeconomic and ethnic groups and to disabled people and people with mental health needs.
