Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives: One Year On

This report reviews progress on the delivery of Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives: A Cross-Government Strategy for England (published January 2008) and sets out priorities for the future. 

Maintaining a healthy weight is a personal responsibility first and foremost, however government plays a significant role in helping support individuals and families in making healthier choices.

One Year On builds on the five themes from Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives, but demonstrates how we have developed our thinking over the last year to keep up momentum in tackling unhealthy weight.

We want to help people make healthier choices; continue to create an environment that promotes healthy weight; provide effective services for those at risk, and strengthen the delivery system.
