Scotland: Executive drops its nutrition targets

The Scottish Executive has dropped targets on the nutritional value and take-up of school meals, and the rollout of its new community school and Health Promoting School approach, because it has decided to prioritise "more strategic targets".

It has also dropped a target to reduce the gap between the average attendance levels in schools serving areas of high and low deprivation by 10 per cent.

The decisions appear in an annex to its draft budget for 2005/06, which follows the Executive's spending review (Children Now, 6-12 October).
