Director of Public Health's latest report highlights issue
With a quarter of five-year-olds classed as overweight, childhood obesity is one of the 'greatest public health challenges' facing the Island.
That's the view of the Director of Public Health, whose latest annual report has been published today, 17 August.
Entitled 'Childhood Healthy Weight - the road to a better future', the document highlights areas which could be addressed to promote healthier lifestyles.
Dr Henrietta Ewart says a consolidated approach is needed to tackle the issue:
Department brands loss of Greeba tree 'regrettable'
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
Local clothing retailers rated poorly in new survey
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
