A picture of Health Minister Mike Nesbitt with text beside it which reads: “Obesity is a significant public health issue in Northern Ireland, with 65% of adults and 26% of children living with obesity or overweight. “Those living with being overweight or obese are at a higher risk of a range of major health conditions including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. “As I have repeatedly emphasised, my ambition is to shift our health’s service focus from treating ill people to helping them stay healthy.”

The Health Minister has confirmed a new Regional Obesity Management Service for Northern Ireland.

The new Service will be the first of its kind in NI with its first phase scheduled to start in early 2026.
