This is the best summary I could come up with:

Experts said there had been an “appalling decline” in the health of children under the age of five in the UK – with soaring rates of obesity and tooth decay.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said the document “provides alarming evidence that the UK is failing too many of its children”.

Prof Helen Minnis, of Glasgow University and co-chair of the report, said: “Child deaths are rising, infant survival lags behind comparable countries, and preventable physical and mental health issues plague our youngest citizens.

Co-chair Pro Sir Andrew Pollard, from the University of Oxford, said: “There are huge challenges for the NHS today, driven by the growing pressures on health and social care from an ageing population.

“Even more disconcerting is the evidence cited in our Academy of Medical Sciences report of an appalling decline in the health of our children, which makes for an even more bleak outlook for their future.

Claire O’Meara, from the UK Committee for Unicef, said: “The government needs to act on this evidence now to reverse already worrying declines in children’s health outcomes.”
