Free portion of fruit or vegetables every day

Young schoolchildren in Northern Ireland should receive a free portion of fruit or vegetables every day, a new report has said.

It also recommends they receive a free meal every day in the first three years of school regardless of income.

Northern Ireland has the lowest breastfeeding rates in the UK.
