Report of Councillor Viv McCrossen, Former Chair of the Overview Scrutiny Committee.

Members welcomed Councillor McCrossen, Review Group Chair, to present the findings of the Scrutiny Working Group on Obesity.

Councillor McCrossen thanked everyone involved in the review including partners and officers and summarised the findings of the review. Of most concern to the group were the high levels of obesity in Gedling residents, particularly school aged children and it was felt that an approach of obesity prevention rather than cure would best address this.

RESOLVED:

1)    To note the report of the working group and thank the working group; and

2)    To refer the report to the appropriate Cabinet Member in order for a response to be made to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee at the next meeting on 19th September.
