Recommendation (the committee's words)
The government should review behavioural interventions that are offered across the country to identify which would benefit from a single national design that a range of providers can offer, in a similar way to the Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission programme. It should also explore options for direct referral to programmes, including through the NHS App and central publicity campaigns. (Recommendation, Paragraph 31)
