Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Kate O'Flaherty:

Yes. We are on that journey and we need to talk about it more in a supportive way. The general approach of our strategy and policy work across Government is to work with citizens who are very engaged. People want to be healthy and want their children to be healthy. We need to find the best way we can do that based on evidence and learning to support people to do that more for themselves.
