Health and Social Care Committee: Food and Weight Management

Committee hears from witnesses

The Health and Social Care Committee will take oral evidence on food and weight management policy. This inquiry will examine approaches to addressing obesity, nutrition, and related health outcomes through evidence from witnesses with expertise in food systems, public health, and weight management interventions.

This is nationally significant because obesity and weight-related conditions are major drivers of NHS costs, health inequalities, and preventable disease burden. The inquiry will inform potential policy approaches to tackling a public health issue that affects millions of people and places substantial strain on social care and health services.
