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.
