Fitness Expert David Fairlamb Backs Calls to Tackle Child Obesity in North East The battle against obesity should be stepped up with a new national body says North East fitness expert David Fairlamb August 31, 2014 19:00 By Will Metcalfe The Journal http://www.thejournal.co.uk/north-east-analysis/ analysis-news/fitness-expert-david-fairlamb-backs-7696880 . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/noqdywj . . Calls to tackle child obesity with a Cobra-style emergency task force have been welcomed by a leading fitness expert. . David Fairlamb, a personal trainer who helped launch the Journals Great North Fitness Revolution, backed calls from the Royal College of General Practitioners for the Chief Medical Officer to set up a national Child Obesity Action Group urgently. . The body would work along similar lines as the governments Cobra task force, which deals with terrorism and national disasters, and would tackle the rising epidemic of childhood obesity, a RCGP spokesman said. . Should the body be established doctors, nurses, midwives, dieticians, dentists and schools would collaborate to try to prevent obesity and improve treatment services to stop children developing problems later. . Fairlamb said: I think this is the correct step and something that has been needed for a long time; the government has been playing at this. . Putting something in place with schools and school meals is important but ultimately parents must take responsibility themselves - government measures can only do so much. . In the letter to the Chief Medical Officer, health leaders called for a raft of other measures including increased support for the National Child Measurement Programme, improved investment in data-gathering IT programmes for weight management, more training in malnutrition and obesity for GPs and other health professionals and outreach projects to educate families about the dangers of obesity. . .
