The national task force on obesity established in March of this year to address the growing levels of obesity in Ireland is cognisant of the fact that a societal approach and cross sectoral working are required to identify solutions to halt the rise and reverse the prevalence of obesity in society. The task force has conducted an extensive consultation process which included the Department of Education and Science and that will be reflected in the final report. The task force is due to present a strategy document by the year end.
