Report of the Director of Public Health outlining children's healthy weight plan.

The Board considered the report of the Director of Public Health seeking approval of the Children and Young People’s Healthy Weight Plan which had been developed with key partners and outlined a range of important actions all aimed at increasing the proportion of healthy weight children and young people in the City.

The Board sought confirmation that the opposite end of the spectrum in relation to underweight children and young people was also taken account of and were assured that this was addressed through the school nursing programme and a clinical approach.

RESOLVED:

(i)  That the Children and Young People’s Healthy Weight Plan as detailed in Appendix 1 of the report be approved; and

(ii)  That the Children and Young People’s Healthy Weight Plan be presented to the Children and Families Scrutiny Panel for information.
