Question 108: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a person (details supplied) in County Galway has developed a special education programme to try to reduce the level of obesity in school going children; if her further attention has been drawn to the fact that this particular model works very well in the UK schools and that part of this programme can be taught with almost every class in the school and as such does not require any extra teachers; if she or the Health Service Executive are aware of this particular educational system to try to control obesity; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I have met with the person referred to by the Deputy. As this is a school based programme, it would be primarily a matter for the Department of Education and Skills and I therefore suggested that he consult with that Department.
