<p>We launched <em>Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action</em> on 18 August. Our plan
focuses on actions that are likely to have the biggest impact on reducing childhood
obesity and maintaining a healthy weight. It presents a bold package of policy proposals,
informed by the available evidence. We will work with the devolved administrations,
general practitioners and other healthcare professionals, teachers and parents to
improve the health and wellbeing of children across the United Kingdom.</p><p>We are
confident that the measures announced will make a real difference and estimate that
they could reduce childhood obesity rates by around a fifth (330,000) over the next
10 years.</p><p>A copy of <em>Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action</em> is attached
