I raised the point about the impact of the cuts with Scottish Government Minister for Children and Early Years, Adam Ingram, who gave the keynote address at the conference and he gave his commitment that the Government viewed healthy eating as a priority and would seek to protect this agenda from the impact of the cuts.
Institute of Sports and Recreation Management (ISRM) Chief Executive, Sean Holt also spoke of the need for the leisure sector to speak with one voice in order to make a case for protecting physical activity from funding cuts.
