Recommendation 17
17
Deferred
Fund research into tackling obesity, eliminating weight stigma, and weight-neutral interventions.
Recommendation
There needs to be further research to establish how best to tackle obesity while eliminating weight stigma and discrimination, and to establish the efficacy of weight- neutral interventions, and we recommend that the National Institute for Health Research put aside funding for this purpose. (Paragraph 97) Non-surgical cosmetic procedures
Government Response Summary
The government's response outlines plans to consider specific premises standards for non-surgical cosmetic procedures and work with the CQC to ensure consistency, but does not address the recommendation for the National Institute for Health Research to fund research on tackling obesity and weight stigma.
Government Response

HM Government
Deferred
There are currently no specific premises standards for beauty salons and non- CQC -registered premises providing non-surgical cosmetic procedures. We will consider whether specific premises standards are needed and what they should include. We also want to ensure that we do not duplicate inspection regimes. We will, therefore, continue to work with CQC to ensure that, if introduced, any new premises standards operate consistently with regulatory frameworks already in place. We strongly encourage anyone considering a cosmetic procedure to take the time to find a practitioner who is operating from a premises that is compliant with hygiene standards and infection control measures.
