Rejected petition Free exercise classes for obese patients

More details

I believe that if someone is considered overweight by their doctor or have obesity related illnesses, they should be referred to a free weekly class where everyone there has been referred by their doctor. This will reduce not only the health risks associated with being overweight but will also save the NHS thousands a year that would otherwise be spent on operations and medical equipments for obesity.
