A new 10-year Child and Adolescent Health and Well-being Strategy, covering both physical and mental well-being To recruit an extra 500 health visitors by 2018 so that every child benefits from a health development check at 30 months. School food regulations will be reviewed to make sure all primary school children have access to at least 5 of their ‘5 a Day’ each day through school meals or healthy snacks such as fruit. Our ambition is for Scotland to be the first “Daily Mile” nation. Every school will be offered help to become a Daily Mile school To publish a food sustainability plan aimed at ensuring everyone can feed themselves and their families and establish a £1 million a year Fair Food Fund to reduce reliance on emergency food provision.
