Purpose

The continued and extended provision of
targeted Tier 2 children, family-based and adult weight management
services will complement the existing Tier 1 and Tier 3 provisions
and help to join up the weight management pathways. This will
provide a range of appropriate support for children and young
people, families and adults, with the ultimate ambition of enabling
communities to work alongside a weight management provider to fully
participate in future service delivery, adopting an asset based
systems and community development approach. The pilot programme has
attracted a wide demographic. 34% of participants are from the most
deprived wards, 6% from the last deprived, and 74% have lost
weight. There is considerable buy in from communities, localities
and city partners. Additional reports are attached.
A business case was considered by the Health and Wellbeing
Innovation and Transformation Fund Panel on 21 February 2023 and
funding approved totalling £249,000 for two years (grand
total £498,000). It is anticipated that the 2 year contract
term (1+1 years) will give time for planning and incorporating ICB
funding into a sustainable long term community embedded
service.
