The Department of Health is active in this regard. However, the Departments of Education and Skills and Transport, Tourism and Sport also have a significant role to play. I agree that young people must be educated about what they eat and drink in order to have a fitter and healthier society. We need to get people walking and to be health conscious. The Departments co-operate in discussions and at committees on actions needed to educate young people and everyone else to ensure their health and well-being.
