Lothian good sports on rise

MORE people across the Lothians are participating in sports, but the change is not happening quickly enough, the Scottish Government has said.

Recent figures show the level of physical activity remains about the same, but those taking part in competitive sports are on the rise.

Public health minister Shona Robison said: "It is encouraging, however these increases are not happening quickly enough and, as a government, we are determined to see a rise in this nation's participation in sport."
