Hospital food

It's amazing. One in three hospital patients is unhappy with the quality of food they receive in UK hospitals. What's even more amazing is that two out of three hospital patients ARE happy with the quality of food they received in UK hospitals. UK charity Which? surveyed 1,000 patients and a quarter of them said they needed to rely on others to bring food in for them. And the patients were not alone ... 21% of the staff questions said they didn't want to eat hospital food either. A Department of Health spokesperson said they were looking at how nutritional standards could be more fully implemented - and that it was recognised that good food was a priority issue - but perhaps not the their top focus as, according to the BBC report, the 2007 survey results were similar to the 2006 survey results.
