Commenting on the Minister for Public Health’s photo op with sprinter Darren Campbell to launch National Sport week, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesman Ross Finnie said:

“It would be better if the Minister spent more time on trying to support children to get more active by sorting out the SNP’s P.E targets instead of attending photo ops.

“Childhood obesity is a ticking time bomb. Recent figures show that a fifth of P1 children are overweight and eight per cent are obese.”
