The LOSS service was a Liverpool City Council commissioned service which had been in operation since 2009 and delivered specialist weight management support for the residents of Liverpool. In September 2023 LCC formally notified LUHFT that it was withdrawing the service on 30 September 2024, subsequently, serving notice on the contract. This means that from 1st October 2024, the LOSS service has no longer been in operation. LUHFT has worked with the ICB and a revised service model to deliver a limited service from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025 has been agreed.
