National costs of physical inactivity to the NHS Scotland are £94.1 million / £18 per resident
Every Scottish GP has at least 2 consultations per day regarding a condition which could be helped by being active
Burden of physical inactivity related mortality in Scotland (2009-2010)
• There were just under 16,000 deaths per year in physical inactivity disease categories
• Physical inactivity contributes to 2,565 deaths (16.3%)

–£94.1M– Cost of prescriptions ~ £58M– Costs of GP consultations ~ £8.3M
Contributors to the cost of physical inactivity to Scotland (2009-2010)
• This is an underestimate as it does not include hospital related costs or prescription costs of disease where physical activity can prevent and aid treatment of particular conditions
• For exampleObesity – prescription costs ~ £3.3MMental Health prescription costs
Dementia ~ £35.8MDepression ~ £12.2M
Total cost of physical inactivity to Scotland
Why is this figure an underestimation?
• Other disease areas direct health service costs– Mental health, Obesity, Dementia, Falls,
• Indirect social and economic costs– Lost productivity– Premature mortality– Social care
Meanwhile south of the border….
The primary care trusts (PCT) in England in excess of £940 million
Each PCT on average £6.2 million (6).
