| Measure | Time frame |

| If successful, an improvement in quality of diet and levels of exercise will be achieved in children of all weights, along with a reduction in the number of children in the overweight category. The principal benefit to the NHS will be the development of a novel approach to the problem of obesity for an age group where it is most likely to have an effect. Other benefits include the adoption of Health Promoting School principles in additional schools in Leeds, validation of the new BMI charts in childhood, and critical trial of health education curriculum materials. | — |
