NHS will be banning junk food retailers from their hospitals in attempt of tackling the obesity crisis in the UK. This move is part of a £5 million package, in order to make NHS staff healthier.
Nurses and doctors will be provided with yoga and Zumba dance classes, as well as help on quitting smoking and seminars on losing weight. There will also be a service to combat GP stress.
It is said that staff who are absent from work due to ill heath cost the NHS approximately £2.4 billion a year, £1 in every £40 of the overall budget.
