Should hospitals rake in money from vending machines selling crisps and chocolates?

The Nolan Show has discovered that the Belfast Health Trust alone received an income of more than £318,000 from its vending machines last year. That's almost a third of a million. And that's before you take into account the canteens and shops selling more of the same.

How does that sit with all health service warnings about healthy eating?
