Research into costs on the NHS for obesity and other relating health conditions
"Global obesity rates have tripled since 1975, and the UK ranks among the worst in Europe"
"Nearly two-thirds of adults in England are overweight or obese. In 2016/17, 617,000 admissions to NHS hospitals recorded obesity as a primary or secondary diagnosis"
" The NHS will therefore provide a targeted support offer and access to weight management services in primary care for people with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or hypertension with a BMI of 30+"
"By 2022/23, we also expect to treat up to a further 1,000 children a year for severe complications related to their obesity, such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, sleep apnoea and poor mental health"
"The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme supports those at high risk of type 2 diabetes to reduce their risk. A joint commitment by NHS England, Public Health England (PHE) and Diabetes UK, the programme is the largest undertaking of its kind in the world and over 100,000 people have already benefited since its introduction in 2016. In many areas demand has outstripped supply, and it has proven highly effective. We are now committing to fund a doubling of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme over the next five years, including a new digital option to widen patient choice and target inequality."

"Data from NHS Digital shows an 18% increase in admissions in the last year either for obesity treatment – usually stomach-reducing surgery – or conditions caused or complicated by obesity, such as heart disease or pregnancy."
"There were 617,000 obesity-related admissions in total in England, of which 10,705 were directly for obesity treatment such as bariatric surgery."
"Last year (2015-16), 6,760 operations were carried out, which is 5% higher than the year before, but 23% lower than at the peak in 2011-12."
"in 2016/17, there were nearly 616,961 admissions in NHS hospitals where obesity was a primary or secondary factor"
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/apr/04/obesity-putting-strain-on-nhs-as-weight-related-admissions-rise
"nearly one-in-five secondary school aged children are obese, as are a quarter of adults – up from just 15 per cent twenty years ago. Unchecked, the result will inevitably be a huge rise in avoidable illness and disability, including many cases of type 2 diabetes which Diabetes UK estimate already costs the NHS around £9 billion a year."

"The evidence is clear that obesity racks up a staggering bill - at least £5.1 billion to the NHS and tens of billions to UK society every year."
"The NHS spends at least £5.1 billion a year dealing with ill health caused by overweight and obesity in England"
"The NHS carried out 6,438 bariatric surgery procedures in 2015/16. This is likely to have cost in the region of £36.6 million"
"The NHS spend on obesity related disease of £5.1 billion per year is equivalent to:

- - the cost of carrying out more than 115,000 heart transplants or more than 718,000 hip replacements
- - The cost of 959 fully kitted out new air ambulances.
- - The cost of an eight-hour course of talking therapy for 12.75 million people.
