Campaign launched to combat rising levels of obesity
The Academy of Royal Medical Colleges (AoMRC), the body that represents every doctor in the country, is beginning a three-month evidence-gathering inquiry to look for research and strategies that work in preventing or reducing obesity. The inquiry will look at action that can be taken by individuals, including diet, exercise and parenting, as well as the impact of advertising, food labelling and sponsorship.

Women able to delay motherhood through ovary freezing
Those in their twenties and early thirties will be able to ?bank? their ovarian tissue when it is most fertile, and have it re-implanted years later. The procedure, which could cost as much as ?16,000, is expected to be available within the next six months. At present only a few countries, including the United States, Denmark and Belgium, offer the option. To date, 19 babies have been born as a result.
