Aspart of the implementation of Hungry for Success, we expect all schools to endthe active promotion or advertising of full fat crisps, confectionery or fizzysugary soft drinks within the dining room before the set dates (December 2004for primary and special schools, December 2006 for secondaries).

The Executive has also givena commitment in its partnership agreement to end the advertising of unhealthyfoods in schools, work with local authorities to promote healthy eating, andactively discourage the availability of unhealthy food and drinks in schools asa condition of becoming health promoting schools. The Scottish Executive has set a target for all schools in Scotland to be health-promotingschools by 2007.

The Scottish Executive is fully committed to improving the health and diet of young people. Aspart of this we aim to ensure that all schools take on the recommendations madeby the Expert Panel on School Meals, one of which was that fresh, free drinkingwater should be made available in all schools. It is for local authorities totake forward this recommendation as they see fit, but the recommendationsshould be fully implemented in all primary and special schools by 2004 andsecondary schools by 2006. We have different levels of monitoring set up and aswell as collecting data on fresh water availability as part of the schoolcensus, we will be considering the issue of fresh water as part of the baselineand evaluation research.
