Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakaatu ana ngā tatauranga hou i te nui o te mate taikaha o ngā tamariki i te wā e haere ana ngā tamariki ki te kura tuatahi, ā, kotahi i roto i te rima ka mutu i te kura tuatahi he mate taikaha. Kotahi i roto i te 10 ngā tamariki he taumaha rawa ina tīmata rātou ki te kura tuatahi i te whā o o rātau tau, e ai ki ngā tatauranga hou e tino ohorere ana. I roto i te wā o ngā tau e rima, ka tāpirihia te nui o te mate taikaha o ngā tamariki, ā, kotahi i roto i te tokorima ngā tamariki ka mutu i te kura tuatahi he taikaha. I whakatūpato ngā tohunga i tēnei rā kāore i te nui te mahi i roto i ngā kura ki te aro atu ki te mate uruta o ngā tamariki, e akiaki ana i te Kāwanatanga kia whakapiki ake i ngā taumata mahi tinana. Ko ngā tatauranga hōu, i whakaputaina i tēnei rā e te Health and Social Care Information Centre, e whakaatu ana i te 9.5 ōrau o ngā tamariki o te akomanga, e whā ki te rima tau te pakeke, he mōmona i te tau 2013-14. He iti ake te pikinga mai i te 9.3 ōrau i te tau o mua, engari he iti ake i te 2006-07, i te wa e 9.9 ōrau o te roopu pakeke i mate. I te Tau 6, ko te ōwehenga o ngā tamariki 10 ki te 11-tau-tau e mate nui ana ko te 19.1 ōrau i te tau 2013-14, i runga ake i te 18.9 ōrau i te tau o mua, ā, he pikinga mai i te 17.5 ōrau i te 2006-07. I kii a Tam Fry, te kaikorero mo te National Obesity Forum, ahakoa ko te 'iwi pakeke kei te whiwhi i te karere', me nga reeti e noho tonu ana i roto i nga tane me nga wahine, ko te momona o te tamarikitanga te 'whakaaro pono'. I korero ia ki a MailOnline: 'Ko te nui o te whakapiri i waenga i nga tamariki e wha me te 11 nga tau he tino kino.' I whakatūpato a Mr Fry i te wā ka eke ngā tamariki ki te 11 tau, ka'mohiotia kua nui ake, iti iho rānei ō rātau whakaaro mō tō rātau momo oranga.' 'Ko aua tamariki 11-tau-tau pea ka mutu hei pakeke momona,' e ai ki a ia. Ko te tikanga o tēnei ko ia tau ka nui haere te tokomaha o ngā pakeke mōmona e tāpiri ana ki ēnei tatauranga.' I kii ia i Scotland kua akiakihia te NHS ki te arotake ano i ana tatauranga matotoru, e matapae ana ko te 50 ōrau o te iwi ka momona i te tau 2030 - 20 tau i mua atu i te whakapae o mua. 'I whakaaro mātou ka reti, ka tanumia i te tau 2050,' i mea ia. Engari ko te tau 2030 he whakatupuranga katoa i mua atu. Ahakoa e whakaae ana ko te matapae i tēnei wā he mea motuhake anake ki Scotland, i kī a Mr Fry...
10% o ngā tamariki ka tīmata i te kura tuatahi he mōmona, e whakaatu ana ngā tatauranga hou i tēnei rā. I te wā ka mutu te kura tuatahi 20% o ngā tamariki he mōmona. I whakatūpato ngā tohunga mō te ahu whakamua 'kino', e karanga ana kia nui ake ngā akoranga Pūnaha Hauora. I kīia he'nui ake' te tūponotanga o ngā tamariki mōmona ki te noho hei pakeke mōmona.
