My attention was grabed by the article in the London Standard tonight about Shaw Somers experience with rapidly rising obesity related illness and the dire implications on the NHS.
See http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23913213-obese-patients-will-break-nhs-budget-within-10-years.do
If occurences of cancer or other diseases increased at the same rate there would be a national outcry! There is clearly a need for urgent action for adults and children in the UK.
This is one of the topics we are covering at the Rewards, Incentives and Loyalty event on 19th January in Westminster. Come and hear the latest update on the Barking and Dagenham youth card and discuss other initiatives to improve wellbeing, the environment and our communities.
We look forward to meeting members on 19th Jan
