DDM Health Ltd
Barking and Dagenham Council is reviewing its new healthy weight strategy, developed with DDM Health Ltd, to tackle obesity.
Barking and Dagenham Council's Health Scrutiny Committee reviewed the early impact of a new healthy weight commissioning model in February 2026. This model, developed in partnership with DDM Health Ltd, aims to address obesity through a community-led, whole-population approach.
The strategy moves away from short-term fixes towards a long-term, sustainable model. Stakeholder and resident engagement identified needs for a single access point for healthy lifestyle support, practical food education, and accessible local services. No further discussions are currently scheduled.
