Whips Cross hospital has a cafe and restaraunt ran by the company Elior and whilst they may be one of the largest contract catering companies in the UK, I personally believe that NHS workers and visitors to the hospital deserve to eat much better food cooked in much more sanitary kitchens.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-08-11T09:21:29.418Z","updated_at":"2026-09-11T16:39:32.704Z","rejected_at":"2026-09-11T16:38:57.434Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-11T15:02:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"It is for individual NHS trusts to decide how they manage their catering contracts, not the UK Government or Parliament."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
