The RCP has today published its response to the Welsh government consultation on Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales, its draft strategy to prevent and reduce obesity.

In his latest video blog, Professor Andrew Goddard explains why the RCP has called on the government to recognise obesity as a disease.

As a 12-week consultation period begins on the new Welsh government obesity strategy, Lowri Jackson, RCP head of policy and campaigns (Wales), discusses the key aims of the plan and the complex challenge of preventing and reducing obesity in Wales.
