Focus outcomes indicators on action by primary health professionals
The Quality Outcomes Framework indicators on obesity should include, and focus on, indicators on the action taken by primary healthcare professionals on behalf of overweight or obese patients. [1]
  • The QOF should contain an indicator that would award points to incentivise and encourage GPs for providing advice on weight management and recommending appropriate guidance and support from the wide range of resources available to tackle obesity, including the range of structured community based weight management programmes which are available.
