Weight Management Consultation Statement

Portsmouth Clinical Commissioning Group and Public Health Portsmouth plan and buy health and wellbeing services on behalf of Portsmouth residents.   We are encouraging all adults in Portsmouth, regardless of whether or not they have previously accessed weight management services to take part in a public consultation around obesity and weight management services.   It is available on Portsmouth City Council's consultation page, so please spread the word amongst those residents you are in contact with to ensure we get as many respondents as possible.

In addition we are encouraging professionals like yourselves to input into the consultation via this separate survey.  You will have the opportunity to give your views on specific services, but more importantly comment on the wider issues of obesity, impact and priorities for us as a city.

The responses from all surveys, focus groups, service reviews and best available evidence will be used collaboratively in helping shape the obesity agenda in the future, including in aiding the design of future weight management services for the city.

It will take 5-10 minutes to answer the questions.  These are anonymous, however some demographic data is being collected for analysis purposes.

If you would like further information on this consultation please email andrea.wright@portsmouthcc.gov.uk
