The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-31383 by Dr Elaine Murray on 18 November 2002, how much additional money has been allocated to school sport in the (a) Argyll and Bute and (b) West Dunbartonshire local authority area in each year since 1998-99.
The answer
Through the School Sports Co-ordinator Programme, school sport in the Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire local authority areas has benefited since 1998-99 by £43,145 and £139,870 respectively as outlined in the following table. West Dunbartonshire Council applied to the programme on behalf of all schools in its area whereas Argyll and Bute Council decided to leave it to individual schools to decide whether to apply to the programme for funding. Neither local authority is involved in the Active Primary School Programme or the TOP Programme.The Executive's aim is to increase participation in sport at all age levels and in particular instil healthy positive attitudes in our children and young people towards sport and physical activity in all parts of Scotland. To assist that objective the Executive has allocated significant additional resources to school sport in particular in its most recent budget. Sportscotland will work with all education authorities including Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire in developing these programmes further.Year | Argyll and Bute | West Dunbartonshire
