I would have imagined that measuring height and weight would have been one of the simpler steps. It is done regularly if you go into a hospital for serious treatment, and not much work is involved. A specialised group is not needed to weigh someone.

How much of a challenge is having appropriate facilities to provide services? In many of our areas, there are many vacant buildings that could be adapted. We are told it is not a case of money and so on; however, if facilities comprise a key element, what needs to be done? How much do we need to roll out in this regard?
