Scots obesity levels rise after 'clerical error' revealed
"In a parliamentary response, Ms Robison stated in June that 26% of males and 23.5% of females were clinically obese.
However, those figures have now been increased significantly.
The minister has confirmed her first response did not include details of those with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 40 - defined as the most morbidly obese.
When they are added, the proportion of obese males aged 16-plus increased to 27.7%.
And the total for females rises substantially by more than four per cent to 27.6%."
