NOT 'Nanny State': Protection & assurance of the quality of nutrition

The Government needs a plan to fix our broken food system and turn the tide on the public health emergency

24 October 2024

The House of Lords Food, Diet and Obesity Committee demands that the Government should develop a comprehensive, integrated long-term new strategy to fix our food system, underpinned by a new legislative framework. This is the key conclusion of the Committee’s report, ‘Recipe for health: a plan to fix our broken food system’.

Chair's comments

Baroness Walmsley, Chair of the Food, Diet and Obesity Committee, said:

“Food should be a pleasure and contribute to our health and wellbeing, but it is making too many people ill. Something must be going wrong if almost two in five children are leaving primary school with overweight or obesity and so many people are finding it hard to feed healthy food to their families. That is why we took a root and branch look at the food system and analysed what had gone wrong over the past few decades.

“Over the last 30 years successive governments have failed to reduce obesity rates, despite hundreds of policy initiatives. This failure is largely due to policies that focused on personal choice and responsibility out of misguided fears of the ‘nanny state’. Both the Government and the food industry must take responsibility for what has gone wrong and take urgent steps to put it right.

“We hope, given the recent comments from the Prime Minister, Lord Darzi and the Secretary of State for Health, that there is now an appetite to shift towards prevention of ill health. We urge the Government to look favourably on our plan to fix our broken food system and accept that not only is it cost-effective, but that it would lead to a lot less human misery.”

[My emphasis] 

About time! Real action please.

DO NOT DILUTE TO TASTE!

Case formulation - Theory and Practice

 Still sorting papers, I've discovered copies of slides from the COPE course University of Manchester on Case Formulation by John McGovern.

An original purpose for Hodges' model is to help bridge the theory-practice gap.

The slides include -

• content: ingredients - preliminary formulation
• a means of understanding an individual's problems and distress in line with cognitive behavioural theory
• hypothesis to explain acquisition, and maintenance of problem
• not piecemeal

ROLE OF CASE FORMULATIONS

Bridge between theory and practice

a flexible tool for guidance

an explanatory framework to share with the patient

How types of formulation can be related to situations (Hodges' model is situated) - inference chain.

Comprehensive formulation - reflects the template that supports data gathering

inc. core beliefs - conditional beliefs

Questions for Preliminary Formulation

Main Ingredients - includes social support/relationships/employment/finances

(so this touches on determinants)

Book received: 'Handbook on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence'

Many thanks to Edward Elgar Publishing for a review copy of this book which arrived today:

Edited by David J. Gunkel, Professor of Communication, Northern Illinois University, US, and Professor of Applied Ethics, Łazarski University, Poland

Publication Date: 2024 ISBN: 978 1 80392 671 1 Extent: 336 pp

This engaging Handbook identifies and critically examines the moral opportunities and challenges typically attributed to artificial intelligence. It provides a comprehensive overview and examination of the most pressing and urgent problems with this technology by drawing on a wide range of analytical methods, traditions, and approaches.

This is timely, prior to next month's event on AI and Planetary Health, about which news to follow shortly, especially if you are based near London and southern England.

I also can't believe it is 34 years since publication of the following case study:

Davies, M. and Owen, K. ‘Complex uncertain decisions: medical diagnosis’, Case Study 10 in Expert System Opportunities from the DTI’s Research Technology Initiative, HMSO 1990.

Consultation: CHANGE NHS

 
Our NHS is broken, but not beaten. Together we can fix it.    [ c/o https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/ ]

The NHS has been there for us for over 76 years. But to make sure the NHS is here for the next 76 years, doing all it can to support the health of everyone, we need your help.

We want to have the biggest ever conversation about the future of the NHS.

It doesn’t matter whether you have a lot or a little to say. Your views, experiences and ideas will shape a new 10 Year Health Plan for England. 

This is open to everyone. If you are a member of the public or someone who works in health and care in England, 'Start Here', to tell us how the NHS needs to change.

If you are contributing as a representative of an organisation, complete the organisation questionnaire. This is an early opportunity to share your insights as we begin an extensive programme of engagement to develop the 10 Year Health Plan. 

If you register your email address, we will stay in touch to seek your views as the 10 Year Health Plan develops.

'change' in Hodges' model

The NHS and people's health is more than 

a machine, more than a mechanistic thing 

that if broken can be fixed.

By definition you cannot be 'inclusive'
if you do not achieve balance
with the humanistic; and the
values of humanity and
 the spiritual as per context.
