Did any one see the James Martin program on food in the NHS?, if not you should have, he proved that the food served to patients country wide was/is rubbish, he points out that food is another form of medication, good food means better recovery and quicker discharge, cook / chill seems to be the big thing, when patients were questioned about the food they were given was at best rubbish, photos sent into the program showed the most disgusting food you have ever seen, the trouble is that Trusts work on such a low budget for patient food (prisoners are allocated more for food) so low only rubbish is served, Hospitals need to understand that cook/chill is not acceptable for patients, it is an utter disgrace that this is happening in the NHS, this type of food means that you are likely to me malnourished on leaving the hospital, many families take food into the ward for their family member, so often you are not as well as you might be on leaving the hospital, ask your hospital how they provide your food you might just get a surprise!!!.
