Ban on hospital junk food vending
Quote:
Crisps, chocolate and sugary drinks are to be removed from vending machines in NHS hospitals in Wales.
Health Minister Edwina Hart says Wales is the first part of the UK to commit to such a move to tackle obesity and diet-related disease.
It is part of the Labour-Plaid Cymru assembly government's commitment in the deal which created their coalition to improve hospital food and nutrition.
Most junk food will be removed from the machines in the next six months.
Only one NHS hospital in Wales out of 130 will not have healthy vending in place by 2010.

This is a good idea, lets hope the other home nations follow suit.
