Obese patients are to be paid to lose weight in a new Pound-for-Pound NHS scheme. The pilot project starts in September and will see 100 volunteers invited to take part. If successful, it could be rolled out across the UK.
See Daily Telegraph aticle below:

Do you think it will work?

LOL GBW, I was just wondering if people have to give the money back if they put the weight back on again!! 
I think it's a daft idea!
