From a clinical perspective, weight management provision needs to mirror the coverage that smoking cessation services have achieved; yet, the investment in smoking cessation programmes remains significantly higher than the investment in weight management programmes. As a comparator, the NHS spent £88.2 million on smoking cessation services in 2011/12.
