I have encountered another issue. A number of times, GPs have told me about people attending their practices with children who are totally overweight and about how there is a reluctance to have that discussion with the parents. I have heard from GPs about parents moving practices because the GPs raised the issue. What are we doing to help GP practices get the message across to parents as well?
