of schools in each local authority have achieved healthy school status; and if he will make a statement. [188984]

Kevin Brennan: The numbers and proportions of schools who have achieved National Healthy School Status for each local authority as at 21 February 2008, are shown on the following table.

The National Healthy Schools Programme (NHSP) promotes a whole school approach to health. Nationally, over 57 per cent. (12,484) of schools are now Healthy Schools which means the programme is on track to meet its published target of 75 per cent. of schools achieving National Healthy School Status by the end of December 2009.
