    Health chiefs unhappy with rejection of 'sugar tax'

    Public health leaders in Devon say they're disappointed at the Government's stance on the so-called sugar tax.

    Despite a Public Health England report recommending a price rise on sugary food and drink, David Cameron rejected the measure.

    Devon county council's cabinet member for health and wellbeing, Andrea Davis, is among those who think he should reconsider.

    But it's too early to say whether the council will be making any official representation to the Government.
