Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 327 of 8 May 2018, the timeline for the development of a roadmap by the sub-group on reformulation for progressing its work within its terms of reference; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 303 and 304 together.
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the development of a Roadmap for Reformulation by the Obesity Policy Oversight Implementation sub-group on reformulation is progressing its work within its terms of reference and plans to complete its work within one year. The sub-group has met on a number of occasions since its first meeting in January.
The next meeting, together with a workshop to engage with the food industry, is planned for late September.
At this early stage it is envisaged that any report of the reformulation sub-group in line with its terms of reference may be finalised early next year.
