Special team to help obese family

A team of specialists could be appointed by Dundee City Council to help an obese family lose weight.

The family of eight is reported to include a twelve-year-old weighing 16 stone and a three-year-old who weighs four stone.

A full-time team would give them intensive support to help them slim down and improve their eating habits.

They would be given advice on general health, diet and nutrition and lifestyle choices.
