To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-20235 by Nicol Stephen on 17 December 2001, what plans it has to expand the Glasgow City Council and Greater Glasgow NHS Board Fruit Plus initiative to all pre-school and primary school children across Scotland.
Answer
The NHS in Scotland provides the conduit for the bulk of the £26 million per annum Health Improvement Fund resources, which includes priorities to improve the diet of children through supporting the provision of fruit in pre-school settings and breakfast clubs and fruit/salad bars in school settings. NHS boards have received their allocations and notification of the priority topics and it is for boards, in partnership with other local interests, to determine how best to meet local needs to improve community health in their local areas. I look forward to receiving the evaluation report from the pilot Fruit Plus initiative in Glasgow, which is partly funded through the Health Improvement Fund.
