I raise the issue of obesity, a matter which has been the subject of much discussion. Someone approached me recently with a concern about vending machines in hospitals. In one case the machine was located within a short distance of a children's unit. Available in it were chocolates, sweets, etc. The message on obesity that we hope to send, in health care facilities in particular, is a positive one. The hospital's excuse for having a vending machine was that it generated money for it. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Health to ensure the HSE will conduct an audit of the number of vending machines in hospitals, the income they generate and assess how that income can be replaced? I am not saying we should rule out having vending machines completely, but they should at least contain food that is healthy and good for patients and visitors. It is of serious concern that, on the one hand, we are spending money in trying to educate people about obesity, while, on the other, there are vending machines that do not contain healthy food for those who need proper care and attention. I ask that this matter be given priority, now that there is a little more money available for the health sector. Hospitals should not have to depend on income from this source. If they insist on having machines, a directive should be issued to the effect that any money earned from them be paid to the HSE directly rather than retained by them.
