The days of lumpy mash and watery gravy should become a thing of the past for hospital patients and staff as new mandatory food standards are introduced. The rules will be legally binding and are aimed at putting an end to unhealthy and inedible meals on the NHS. Under the changes, all patients will be checked for malnutrition, given an individual food plan and get help eating and drinking. Canteen food must also be healthy, meet guidelines on salt, sugar and fat and be sustainable sourced. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said most people enjoyed the meals they currently received.
