Conclusion (the committee's words)
The obesity modern service framework must include a specific section dedicated to support for children, focusing on evidence-based effective, person-centred interventions such as the CEW clinics. It should include targets for the proportion of children living with obesity who are accessing specialist support. (Recommendation, Paragraph 62)
