A hospital that has ended its contract with a fast food outlet in a bid to introduce healthier food on site has experienced a backlash from patients.
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) announced it will not be renewing its concession for Burger King at the city’s general hospital, which runs out in 2016, because it does not fit into a ‘modern healthcare environment.’
But patients launched a campaign to save the burger outlet after saying the quality of food it serves is of a better standard than that offered by the hospital.
