The boss of a Cambridge hospital has told the BBC he would like to ban fast food from the site, but is "contractually shackled" to provide it.

Dr Keith McNeil, chief executive of Addenbrooke's, already plans to ban smoking at the site from January.

He was asked if he also planned to ban fast food, and remove certain outlets from the hospital's food court.

Dr McNeil said: "If we could we would, but at the moment we're contractually shackled... but that's next, yes."

The hospital has a number of cafes and restaurants, including a burger chain and a pizza chain.
