Costa Coffee has come under fire for hiking their drinks prices in hospitals by 10p.
A popular coffee chain has been criticised for increasing the price of its drinks at NHS outlets.
Costa Coffee branches at hospitals charge 10p extra for drinks at a number of locations, which has been branded a ‘hospital tax’ on those visiting sick relatives. The chain has 94 concessions in UK hospitals, but while they charge £3.05 for a small latte at its branch in Northumberland Street, Newcastle, the same drink at the nearby Royal Victoria Infirmary would set you back £3.15,Similarly, at the Costa Coffee in St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex, a flat white will cost you £3.25 and a latte or cappuccino £3.15.
But the same drinks purchased at its East Street branch, just under a mile away, are all 10p cheaper.He said: ‘They know with long waiting times for patients and their relatives, they have captive customers who need refreshments, so they slap on a hospital surcharge.’
