Thank you for responding to the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Obesity's call for evidence. This survey will ask for your insights and views on the future of obesity services in England.

Your responses will be considered as part of the APPG on Obesity’s work in supporting and building on the Government’s obesity strategy. The evidence gathered in this inquiry will be developed into a policy paper which will be presented by the APPG later this year.

The APPG welcomes submissions from any member of the public with an interest in this area, and particularly from health and care professionals, weight management service providers, professional bodies, academic researchers, patients and patient representatives, campaigners, charities representing a relevant interest, civil servants and commissioners.

It would be helpful to cite any evaluation undertaken and cost and outcome measures that you have used to inform your view.

You can also email your response to the group's secretariat at ObesityAPPG@mailpbconsulting.com. If you are responding on behalf of an organisation please make this clear. If you would like to share any of your or your own organisation’s work which is relevant for this call to evidence, please do so.

This inquiry will close at 5pm on 23rd October.

This survey has been created and developed by the secretariat of the APPG on Obesity and finalised with the officers of the APPG. The secretariat of the APPG on Obesity is funded by financial support provided by Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic and Novo Nordisk. These companies have no influence over the work of the secretariat of the APPG on Obesity and they have had no influence on the development of this survey. Further details of the APPG can be found on the APPG register and on the Obesity APPG website.
