Re: Cold Comfort NHS Style
Margaret, I took your post as being in reply to those of Enti & Spugs. I have visted many hospitals myself and I know the range of retail outlets that are available. In the grounds of the Royal London - not to far away from where I write - there are several craft stalls most days of the week, while there is also a resident WH Smiths shop & a hospital volunteers shop. There used to be a massive Macs at Guy's hospital - it may still be there.
I have no argument with subletting surplus or planned floorspace for commercial activities, if it means the hospital makes money out of it. However, like car-parking fees and pay as you go telly & phones, junk food outlets can cause more hidden harm than good.
