Hospital food gets makeover

Hospital food across Wales has been given a makeover to ensure patients have tasty choices which can address patient’s individual nutritional requirements.

Last week, Welsh Labour’s Health Minister Lesley Griffiths launched the All Wales Hospital Menu Framework, which includes a database of recipes to be used in all hospitals.

The database currently consists of 18 soups, 38 main course items and 42 desserts, snacks and accompaniments that have been analysed and meet strict nutritional standards.

 Celebrity chef James Martin and Abergavenny-based Michelin star chef Stephen Terry have been involved in the process and contributed a number of signature recipes to the menu.
