Population covered and demand for service
The population covered includes all patients registered with general practices in Hampshire, the
Isle of Wight, Dorset, South Wiltshire, and Western Sussex.
Based on the level of bariatric activity which has been commissioned over the last 12 months
across the Central South Coast area, an indicative demand for this service would be 75
procedures per annum.
The Authority reserves the right to award a contract to more than one provider.

Case definition
Morbid obesity is defined as a BMI (body mass index) of 40 kg/m
2 or more, or of 35 kg/m2 or
more in the presence of significant co-morbidities. Because the number of individuals in the
Central South Coast with a BMI of 40 kg/m
Central South Coast with a BMI of 40 kg/m
2 or more is in the region of 29,000 priority will be
given to those with greatest need. The threshold BMI for surgery is therefore:
•
45 kg/m2 in the presence of serious co-morbidity which will be improved by bariatric
surgery
•
60 kg/m2 in the absence of serious co-morbidity
