NHS doesn’t care for the obese

Summary

A report by the Royal College of Physicians says NHS services for people who are overweight are often inadequate. Across the NHS the problem of obesity is tackled insufficient, the problem of obesity has grown over the last decade and with the inadequate service of the National Health Service the problem seems to get even worse. In 2012 25% of adults in Britain is obese and it is expected that within 40 years the number will rise to 50%. Annually 5 billion pound is spend on obesity. Because of the rising number of obese people the number of people with heart problems or diabetes will rise with it.

My opinion

In my opinion the problem with obesity is not with the NHS but with the obese people themselves, there are of course exceptions but over the whole obese people just lack exercise and the correct diet. On the topic of the NHS’s actions to deal with the problem my opinion is that there is enough money going in but it does not reflect the quality that the NHS delivers. The money should be spend more effectively to get the quality of service to an adequate level all over the country. Obesity is a major problem worldwide and people do not realize that obesity causes other diseases.
