Hospital kitchens that fail the hygiene test: - here is the report. - Here are extracts from the report:
"Dirty equipment, cockroach infestations and instances of food not being properly refrigerated featured in the review of hygiene reports produced over the past three years for 50 NHS and private hospitals...
...only 18 per cent of NHS patients were very satisfied with the quality of the food provided, compared with 57 per cent of private patients. In addition, 29 per cent of NHS patients were still hungry after meals, compared with four per cent of private patients."
Pretty disgusting, isn't it? - But the Dept of Health can always be relied upon for a complacent response to criticism:
"A spokesman for the Department of Health said yesterday that the independent Healthcare Commission last month found that 96 per cent of trusts were meeting core standards on hospital food."
