HC Deb 11 March 1993 vol 220 c701W
Ms Lynne

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what guidelines she issues to national health service management regarding the minimal nutritional standards of meals in hospitals; what monitoring there is of in-patient meals to see whether they meet nutritional criteria; and when the guidelines were last reviewed.

Mr. Sackville

None. Hospitals and other national health service units are required to ensure that adequate meals are provided and that they meet the nutritional requirements of all their patients.
