Obesity has already reached epidemic proportions in many Western countries. We ask whether organisations such as [[Association for the Study of Obesity]] and [[National Obesity Forum]] are playing a constructive role in the debate on obesity, or whether they simply promote the interests of companies with a stake in obesity-related policy.  The portal looks at how obesity-related groups have often been funded by companies such as [[LighterLife UK]], [[GlaxoSmithKline]] and [[Kelloggs]].

A guide to the companies, lobbyists and think tanks involved in the privatisation of healthcare

What is happening to to the National Health Service?

“The NHS will be shown no mercy and the best time to take advantage of this will be in the next couple of years." So said Mark Britnell, former high-flyer in the Department of Health, now global head of health at KPMG. Speaking at a conference in October 2010 organised by private equity firm, Apax Partners, he added: “In future, the NHS will be a state insurance provider not a state deliverer [of healthcare].”

Government NHS reforms now offer unprecedented opportunities to private healthcare companies.

The profiles in this Health Portal highlight the private healthcare companies, lobbyists, think tanks and individuals that have been courting politicians and officials and lobbying for such changes.

This portal is part of Powerbase—your guide to networks of power, lobbying and deceptive PR. Other health-related portals include Foodspin, Pharma and Alcohol. Powerbase has a policy of strict referencing and is overseen by a managing editor.

Can you help?

Powerbase can be made more effective if more people join the project. If you have research or writing skills or just spare time, you can help.

If you are unsure where to start, you could expand some of the recently created but currently very brief articles. (If you look at the recent changes page you will see some noted as being 'stubs' - articles that may just be a line or two and needing to be fleshed out). So if you would like to add to some of those you would be most welcome.

There is an automatically updated page which includes the pages which have been signalled by Powerbase users as most wanted. In addition there is a page which includes a list of Things you can do to help.

Or if you would like some other suggestions closer to your interests you could drop Powerbase editor, David Miller an email. His address is editor AT Powerbase.info
