Slimming World’s successful Scottish Parliamentary Reception was reported in the Edinburgh Evening News and in The Scotsman this week: “Speaking at the event, which was held last week, Public Health Minister Shona Robison said obesity is an increasing problem that poses a huge threat to health. She promised that an obesity action plan will be published before the summer recess.”

They also quoted Caryl Richards, Slimming World’s MD, on the significance of the new cross-party group on obesity in Scotland: "The launch of the cross-party group marks a significant point in how Scotland is moving forwards to tackle the obesity challenge."
