) Obese to be fast-tracked for weight loss operations
LONDON: Thousands of patients will be fast-tracked for fat loss operations to beat the obesity crisis. The Standard has learned that nine hospital trusts in London and the South-East have been chosen to provide stomach-shrinking surgery for the first time.
These include Chelsea & Westminster, the Homerton and Imperial College Healthcare, which are all setting up special units for treating patients.
At least 2,000 operations will be carried out a year to reduce the burden on the NHS of weight-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
The number of trusts awarded “provider" status for obesity surgery is more than four times the original planned, reflecting demand.
NHS bosses will decide in the next few weeks on their system for allocating at-risk patients to different hospitals for surgery. More>>
