NHS hospitals in England are hiding patient dissatisfaction with the food they serve, campaigners say.
The Campaign for Better Hospital Food said NHS Trusts routinely rated their own food highly.
But patient surveys showed nearly half of people were dissatisfied with what they were offered to eat.
The campaigners want mandatory standards introduced for hospital food, like those which already exist for prisons and schools.
In the past, NHS staff in England have carried out annual assessments of the quality of hospital food.

The food at my last hospital stay was excellent, given the huge logistical task involved in distributing it all 🙂
