Ms Sarah Treleaven:

Once again I am here to talk about the regional health areas. As people may recall, the geography of the six regional health areas was approved by the Government in July 2019. The Government decision directed us to develop a business case and a change management programme. We are doing that at present in line with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's public spending code. The key objectives of the implementation of regional health areas are: to further define clinical governance pathways, in particular where they cross between community lines; to reinforce our corporate governance and accountability structures; to enable a population-based approach to service planning and funding; and to promote the integration of services between community and acute sectors. I will now hand over to Ms O'Dwyer to talk about the obesity programme.
