Response to the NICE Overweight and obesity management: Draft quality standards consultation

Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of 13 different types of cancer. NICE’s draft quality standards for overweight and obesity management describes key areas of improvement in the prevention, management and treatment of overweight and obesity.

In our response, we explain that weight management services should be provided with the resources to deliver NICE’s quality standards. This can support everyone who requires treatment to receive timely and appropriate care.
