Ebook Review of the Scottish Diet Action Plan
in July 1996, Eating for Health: A Diet Action Plan for Scotland, commonly known as the Scottish Diet action plan (SDap), was published by the Scottish Office. launching the plan, the then Minister of State, lord James Dougla- samilton, acknowledged that changes to eating habits, developed over many years, would not be accomplished overnight, but commended the action plan as ‘a blueprint for action over a decade which had the potential to begin a process that would result in better health for all’. its recommendations have been the basis on which food and health action in Scotland has been shaped over the past 10 years.
in 2004, the Scottish executive published Eating for Health: Meeting the Challenge, a strategic framework to guide continued implementation of the SDap. This outlined the coordinated action, improved communication and leadership needed to take forward the SDap as the food and health component of the Scottish executive’s broader policy for health improvement. One of the action points put forward to meet the continued challenge of improving diet-related health in Scotland was to review the progress made to date in implementing SDap recommendations and achieving the targets set for 2005.
an independent policy review was therefore commissioned in July 2005 by Health Scotland, reporting to the Scottish Food and Health Council (SFHC). The aim of the review was to examine the progress and impacts made, and the successes and challenges that have arisen from implementing the recommendations made in the original 1996 SDap, and to do so in the light of subsequent developments at policy and institutional levels. On the basis of this assessment, the review panel was also tasked with identifying strategic priorities for Scotland’s future policy on improving the Scottish diet.
