NHS hospital in England to cut sugary drinks sales
Every NHS hospital has agreed to cut sales of sugary drinks on their premises as part of NHS England action to curb rising levels of obesity.
All 227 trusts across England have pledged to reduce sales of sugar-sweetened drinks to 10% or less of their total drinks sales.
Growing numbers of hospitals have signed up since NHS England introduced cash rewards for those that hit the target last year.
The latest data shows that the proportion of drinks sold on NHS premises that contain added sugar has reduced for seven months in a row falling to just 7.4% in participating Trusts in June 2018.
Nearly 30 million teaspoons of sugar have now been removed from NHS canteens, shops and vending machines as a result.
