I beleive that local, fresh and organic food can help to prevent ill-health and also help heal those who are ill. Which is why I am supporting Nottingham City and QMC Hospital’s proposal to have an on-site kitchen using sustainable development technologies at the hospital.
The proposed kitchen would supply patients with freshly cooked food, brought in from local farmers. This would replace the existing food contract that the hospitals have with a large food contractor who currently provides cook-chill meals and delivers these from its Colchester base.
If you would like to provide feedback about this proposal (I have) then write as soon as possible to:
Mr John Hughes, Catering Manager, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Hucknall Road, Nottingham, NG5 1PB.
For those who do not live in Nottingham or the UK even, why not encourage your hospital to use local food and cook it on site too.
