HC Deb 22 February 1989 vol 147 c671W
Mrs. Wise

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether any maternity units use cook-chill food.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Health authorities are responsible for the delivery of catering services which meet the needs of all their patient groups.

We do not collect centrally information on the production of food for specific categories of patients.

Mrs. Wise

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospitals currently use cooked-chilled food; and how many hospitals are intending to use cooked-chilled food under present plans.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We do not hold centrally information on those hospitals which provide cook-chill catering.
