Joined up government

Extract from the First Minister's New Year message:
"There are still important changes we need to see through. We will improve the nutritional standards of the food in our schools."

Slightly unfortunate that on the previous day the First Minister's expert group came up with this (from the BBC):
Fish and chips, more salt, and some crisp products could be permitted on the school menu, under proposals put before the Scottish Parliament.
An expert group, set up by the Scottish Executive, said there should be a "more pragmatic" approach to nutrition to entice pupils back to school meals.
