Discussions were held in 2021 relating to expansion of the membership of the Obesity Policy Implementation Oversight Group (OPIOG) to include service user and/or patient representation. These proposals have not been further progressed but will be considered at future meetings of the OPIOG.

The Department has engaged with service users in relation to specific issues, and this will continue irrespective of the composition of the OPIOG.
