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. This inquiry examines how diet, nutrition, and weight-related health interventions affect the UK population, likely covering obesity prevention, food industry practices, NHS services, and public health policy.

Obesity and diet-related diseases impose substantial costs on the NHS and reduce quality of life for millions of people. This inquiry will inform parliamentary scrutiny of government health policy and could lead to recommendations affecting food regulation, public health campaigns, and healthcare resource allocation.
