This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Healthy and tasty hospital food for patients and staff.
Introduce healthy, tasty food for all patients in hospital. Staring with the basics, fresh ingredients, herbs and spices
More details
How are patients supposed to begin any kind of recovery without healthy nutritious foods? Surely nutrients is one of the main priorities to recovery. I am a chef and have been in hospital for 5 days and cannot begin to eat this cheap, unappetising, unappealing, non nutritious food. It’s shameful
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The Government already sets minimum standards for the provision on patient food in hospitals. There has also been a recent review into hospital food, you can find out more here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-blueprint-for-better-hospital-food
If you believe that food received in hospital is inadequate, you could make a complaint: https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/complaint/
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
