Childhood Obesity is a strategic priority for NHS Walsall and a problem for many areas of Walsall. It is a large agenda which needs to be tackled at many levels by various agencies in Walsall and by the families of Walsall themselves. There is a huge prevention aspect to this problem, but also a ‘treatment’ aspect which is for families where obesity is identified as a problem, for example, through the Child Measurement Programme.
