The reduction in waiting times is very welcome.
The challenge for the NHS over the next few years is dealing with the health inpacts of rising levels of Alcohol and the problems caused by obesity.
In England 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight with a Body Mass Index of over 25-30,
Whist 17% of men and 21% of Women are classed at obese ie BMI over 30.
Oh and before you get the idea that I am some mega skinny person telling you about this I have to confess to my own battle with weight I am currently 14 and half stone battling to get down to 13 stone.
