Report by Director of Public Health (CMDPH4).

The Local Authority needs to make a policy decision to secure weight management services to prevent obesity through a commissioning route as previously the contract was the responsibility of the NHS before the transition of Public Health to Local Authority.

Public Health has a ring fenced budget within this an allocations has been made for weight management services as reported in financial monthly reports to cabinet.

The contract with the current provider expires on 31 August 2017. As the current costs of commissioning these services are significant with regard to the revenue budget allocated to the Cabinet Member the commissioning of these services is considered a key decision. 

The Cabinet Member for Public Health is RECOMMENDED to approve the Public Health Directorate’s plans to commission healthy weight services in Oxfordshire.
