Conclusion (the committee's words)
Wraparound support is a vital component of obesity care, no matter which treatment is being used. Losing a large amount of weight is a major life event, and challenges with living with obesity can impact on people’s mental health. As such, mental health support must be a core part of wraparound care. (Conclusion, Paragraph 55)
