A Healthy Weight for Ireland: Obesity Policy and Action Plan 2016 - 2025 31 chapter five a healthy weight for Ireland - ten steps forward This chapter presents the Government’s commitment to preventing overweight and obesity, specifically the Ten Steps Forward that will be taken to this end. Recognising that the solutions require action across a range of sectors and at different levels, these ten steps will chart a course for reversing the obesity trends, preventing complications associated with obesity such as diabetes, and reducing the overall burden for individuals, their families and the health system. The Ten Steps Forward are interdependent, and each step includes a number of priority actions. It is intended that all of these 20 priority actions will commence at the earliest opportunity. The Ten Steps Forward and their priority actions are outlined below. The second part of the Obesity Policy and Action Plan, set out in chapter 6, provides more detail on additional actions to support the Ten Steps Forward, and includes information on lead agencies, partners and timelines over the lifespan of the Policy.
