Hi there, I am from Rochdale & was just wondering whether you have any more news re funding? I went to my GP and he said that "if I had come 6 months ago things would have been different". I am seeing the weight clinic on 9 May to discuss options but am not feeling that this sounds very positive. Any update much appreciated.

Thanks, Juliet
