  2. Hospitals Significant reach and influence within local community. staff, patients and visitors. large workplace employing thousands of people. daily interaction with thousands of patients & visitors Requirement to tackle staff ill health and promote good health (Boorman) Desire for good nutrition as part of treatment goals & food for convenience. – trusted brand (hospitals perhaps more so?)

  3. Obesity Products high in fat, salt & sugar (HFSS) contributes significantly to obesity - If hospitals provide then fair to say ARE contributing to obesity by: 1. Increasing access to them 2. Giving credibility to HFSS food & drink products 3. Neutralising public health messages about potential harm

  4. Malnutrition Eating ‘energy-dense’ (ED) and/or high fat salt & sugar (HFSS) food/drink with little or no nutrition. Patients – may refuse, miss or only partially eat prepared nutritionally balanced meals if full on ED HFSS products Staff - facilitating short term energy boost intakes - weight gain - low nutrition Visitors – normalisation/promotion of HFSS products – may validate & encourage further consumption?
