Ending the sale of energy drinks to children

The Department of Health and Social Care are consulting on the proposed ban on selling energy drinks to children. Please see link below: 

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/ending-the-sale-of-energy-drinks-to-children

They are asking for your views on:

• What products should be in included in any restrictions 
• What age limit a ban should apply to 
• Whether sales of energy drinks from vending machines should be restricted
• Whether there are any changes that would be more appropriate than a ban on sales to children or that could be applied as well as a ban 

If you have any questions on the above consultation or for more information please contact Fiona Smith (Fiona.Smith@rcn.org.uk).
