Latest figures for IoM prompt talks
Talks over a new, cross-government strategy are taking place, to try and combat the ever-growing issue of obesity in the Isle of Man.
They've been prompted by results from the Public Health Directorate's latest lifestyle survey, which show two-thirds of adults and a quarter of children of primary school age are overweight.
Plans by the directorate, alongside the infrastructure and enterprise departments, aim to promote active travel and healthier food outlets.
Senior Health Improvement Officer Michelle Poyzer, says it will involve improving the levels of choice for people:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
