unstar this property answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s guidance on semaglutide, the active ingredient in wegovy, for managing overweight and obesity was published in March 2023, and updated in September 2023. It recommends semaglutide as a treatment option for patients that meet specified eligibility criteria, and recommends that the treatment is provided within specialist weight management services. These services are typically provided in secondary rather than primary care settings. The Government is committed to the safe introduction of new weight loss drugs into the National Health Service, and is exploring ways to increase access to more people, who meet the relevant eligibility criteria.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>Addressing obesity remains a priority for the Government and we are taking strong action to support people, including children and their families, in achieving and maintaining a healthier weight. This action includes: the introduction of restrictions on the promotion by location of less healthy products in key selling locations in store and online; working with the food industry to make further progress on reformulation and making healthier choices easier; the introduction of out of home calorie labelling regulations for food sold in large businesses, including restaurants, cafes, and takeaways; and supporting three million children through the Healthy Food Schemes.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has taken steps towards providing access to open spaces for communities including children, this includes putting policies in place to require local authorities to provide access to open spaces for sport and physical activity, which is important for the health and well-being of communities. This includes a duty for all local councils to produce a design code for their local area. Design codes will be prepared locally, reflect the local context, and be based on effective community involvement. Officials in the Department are engaging with stakeholders, including those across Government, on a wide range of issues, to promote healthier places.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>Milk is an excellent food for children’s growth and development. This is why, as part of the School Food Standards, schools must ensure it is available to all pupils who want it during school hours.</p><p>Providing milk free of charge to pupils who meet the free school milk criteria is a legislative requirement set out in s512ZB (3) of the Education Act 1996. Schools may offer milk as many times as they wish. Under these regulations, free milk must be provided to those pupils who are also registered for benefits-related free school meals, both when it is offered as part of their school meal and at all other times. This provision ensures that disadvantaged children can benefit from free milk during school hours in addition to a free school meal.</p><p>Compliance with the School Food Regulations 2014 is mandatory for all maintained schools, academies and free schools. These regulations are mandatory in order to ensure that food provided to pupils in school is nutritious and of high-quality and to protect those who are nutritionally vulnerable. The regulations also promote good nutritional health in all pupils, as well as promoting good eating behaviour.</p><p>School Governors have a responsibility to ensure compliance and should appropriately challenge the headteacher and the senior leadership team to ensure the school is meeting its obligations.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>The Nursery Milk Scheme allows early years childcare settings, such as childminders and nurseries, to reclaim the cost of providing one-third of a pint of milk to children under five years old, who attend their childcare setting for at least two hours per day. Schools are also allowed to claim under this scheme, in respect of pupils under the age of five years old. There are no current plans to extend the scheme to cover other school pupils.</p><p>The School Food Standards require lower-fat or lactose free milk to be available in all schools. From the age of five years old onwards, pupils eligible for benefits-based free school meals are also eligible for free school milk. In addition, the school milk subsidy scheme subsidises the cost of milk and certain milk products for children in primary and secondary schools, including over five-year-olds. This means that participating schools can sell the products in schools at a lower price. More information on this scheme is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-milk-subsidy-scheme" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-milk-subsidy-scheme</a></p>

unstar this property answer text <p>The health advice on vaping is clear: vaping can play a role in helping adult smokers to quit, but if you don’t smoke, don’t vape, and children should never vape. However, youth vaping has tripled in the last three years and one in five children have now used a vape. We know that disposable vapes have played a significant role in this rise, with 69% of children aged between 11 and 17 years old who vape now using disposables, compared to just 7% in 2021.</p><p>Adults will still have access to non-disposable vapes to help them to quit smoking. We have also announced significant new funding to support current smokers in quitting by doubling the funding of local stop smoking services to nearly £140 million per year, and through our national Swap to Stop scheme we’re helping adult smokers to quit by providing one million vapes to local authorities.</p><p>A full impact assessment is being undertaken by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs on the proposed ban on the sale and supply of disposable vapes.</p>
