The NHS Choices website has released ratings for hospitals’ food which revealed Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI) as “among the worst” for its quality of food
Horrendous hospital food is set to become a thing of the past after NHS chiefs vowed to rid the nation’s hospitals of their reputation for inedible slop.
For the first time hospitals will have to meet mandatory food standards as part of a long-mooted drive to raise standards, the Department of Health (DoH) said.
They will also be ranked according to the quality of their food and will be required to meet legally-binding standards.

This is all well and good, but are we really likely to choose a hospital based on the quality of its food? I imagine there will be far more important reasons for selecting a hospital. Also, it is doubtful there will be any extra funding available to bring standards up 🙄
