HC Deb 22 January 2003 vol 398 c391W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the answer of 7 January 2003,Official Report, column 181W, what proportion of trusts make no use of leading chef dishes. [91589]

Mr. Lammy

Through the Better Hospital Food programme. acute hospital trusts were asked to include three leading chef dishes in their menus each day.

Information collected from the national health service does not differentiate between hospitals which have included no leading chef dishes in their menus and those which have included fewer than three. It is therefore not possible to provide an accurate number of trusts which have made no use of these dishes.
