Complaints about children labelled 'overweight'

PALS took 28 calls from parents in March about letters sent out as part of the National Child Measurement Programme by the local Child Health Team.

“Calls have been from mainly unhappy and annoyed parents who have received a letter about their child either at age 5 or 11 years old which informs them that they are either a healthy weight, overweight or underweight,” says the Rushcliffe CCG document.
