Preventing Overweight and Obesity in Scotland: A Route Map Towards Healthy Weight
In response to Scotland's obesity epidemic, the Scottish Government & COSLA equally developed the Obesity Route Map and was published in February 2010.
'Obesity cannot be viewed simply as a health issue, nor will it be solved by reliance on individual behaviour change. Thus, although the NHS has a central and continuing role to play in dealing with the problems associated with obesity and its health consequences, such a threat to Scotland's future requires sustained wide ranging and unprecedented levels of co-ordinated action across the whole of Government. As a Government we are committed to taking action now, across the whole of society, to prevent this threat becoming a reality'
'Our collective efforts to address the rising trend need to influence many areas of people's lives. A successful approach will require cross-portfolio and cross-sector collaboration and investment to make deep, sustainable changes to our living environment in order to shift it from one that promotes weight gain to one that supports healthy choices and healthy weight for all'
