We obviously live in different sections of the uk then.

I recall lots of reports that NHS Guidence was going in the direction of avoiding reference to a persons morbid obesity as the underlying cause of the patients health problems. GP's are probably unlikely to follow the guidence if they think telling the patient would be better for them. But there are still rules for certain things such as surgery, where a patient may be required to lose weight or quit smoking prior to surgery as a condition of the operation.

Exactly, for a lot of treatments you straight up can't get them on the NHS if you are over a certain weight.

There's no pussyfooting around that.
