Only five of England’s 42 integrated care boards have made obesity a top priority, says thinktank
Much of the NHS does not take obesity seriously enough, despite it being an unfolding health disaster that costs the UK £98bn a year, says a report.
Only five of England’s 42 integrated care boards (ICBs) – regional groupings of NHS trusts which coordinate care over wide areas – have made tackling obesity or sticking to a healthy weight one of their top priorities, according to the Future Health thinktank.
