\n According to a new analysis from The Independent Pharmacy, Great Yarmouth ranks sixth among places facing an “obesity related healthcare strain”.\n<\/p>\n
\n The research found 34.1 pc of adults in Great Yarmouth are affected by obesity, making it among the highest areas in the country.\n<\/p>\n
\n This is alongside an average waiting time of 17 weeks for obesity-related treatment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dr Donald Grant, GP and senior clinical advisor at The Independent Pharmacy, said: “Our study highlights the areas where high obesity rates and long NHS waits are combining to create significant pressure on local services.\n<\/p>\n
\n “In places where more than one in three adults are living with obesity, demand for support is already high.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is not only a waiting list issue, but a wider prevention challenge.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Northern Lincolnshire and Goole topped the index, with 35.1pc of adults classed as obese and similar waiting times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a new analysis from The Independent Pharmacy, Great Yarmouth ranks sixth among places facing an “obesity…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":482344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[163,521,85,46],"class_list":["post-482343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/482344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
