Independent report: Establishing food standards for NHS hospitals
The report looks at standards relating to patient nutrition and hydration, healthier eating across hospitals and sutainable food and catering services.
NHS adoption of the recommended standards will be required through the NHS contract meaning that hospitals will have a legal duty to comply with the recommendations.
The panel, set up by Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter and led by Dianne Jeffrey from Age UK, examined existing food standards, advising on how they should be applied and monitored.
