What Is Making My Child Fat? Part 2: The Debate and Your Questions.
Sheila Dillon and invited guests answer your questions on child obesity related health and together look for solutions to help meet the Government's targets.
When Professor Dame Sally Davies left her role as Chief Medical Officer for England in Autumn 2019, she didn't go quietly. Instead, she published a strongly titled, independent, 96 page report 'Time To Solve Childhood Obesity'.
"The Government ambition" she wrote "is to halve childhood obesity by 2030 – in England, we are nowhere near achieving this. Yet, if we are bold, we can."
What followed were a plethora of recommendations for Government bodies, local authorities, schools, researchers, the NHS, the private sector and more.
In the second of two programmes, Sheila Dillon invites an expert panel into the studio to discuss the issues, possible solutions and to answer your questions on child obesity related health and disease.
Presented by Sheila Dillon.
Produced by Clare Salisbury.
