Shops agree to limit sugary drinks sales in hospitals The NHS in England wants to reduce sugar intake by patients and staff to reduce health problems.

NHS England has asked all retailers with hospital outlets to limit the drinks to no more than 10% of the total beverages they sell by next April.
Companies that do not comply will face a total ban on selling sugary drinks in hospital shops.
