abstract: The NHS in London has thrown its weight behind the city's bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, claiming that there would be many public health benefits if the bid succeeds.

Chief executive Carolyn Regan said: 'Our campaign aims to harness the inspiration of Olympic achievement to promote the proven benefits of regular exercise.'
