Cost effectiveness

Who should take action?

  • Academic health networks and other academic institutions
  • Directors of public health and public health teams
  • Local authority, NHS and other local commissioners
  • Provider organisations

Actions

  • All of the above should use simple tests to assess value for money of local action to tackle obesity. This may include determining whether resources would be saved by working in partnership, or measuring whether benefits in one sector (such as health) are sufficient to offset costs incurred in another (such as transport or leisure services).​
  • All of the above should ensure that evaluation frameworks assess the value for money of partnership working and collaboration compared with working as separate entities.​
  • All of the above should identify aspects of partnership working or cooperation that can achieve health benefits at negligible or low cost (extensive economic modelling is not needed on a routine basis).
