Hey, but you don’t have any out-of-pocket costs. That’s great, huh! /sarcasm

"Where there are problems we will expect the local authority to take appropriate and immediate action." OMG, pass more laws!!
What, passing more laws to prop up a Socialist system doesn't work?! Sure it does! Just ask the leaders of the Soviet Union... oh, wait a minute.

>The papers revealed that of the 377 hospitals included, 173 - 46% - displayed poor levels of cleanliness in their kitchens or canteens and 68 did not fulfil the legal requirements for storing food.<
I cannot understand why anyone would be surprised at this. Americans have been replaced with 3rd world country employees in our kitchens and canteens.
FACT: 3rd world countries don’t have the same personal standards of cleanliness and food preservation that we do. The odd bug, or two or three in the food cabinet isn’t anything that they would be alarmed about.

And they would probably leave some food out for that odd bug or two or three because for all they know, that bug might be one of their recently departed relatives who have just been reincarnated.

I worked at a small hospital in Maryland in the 1980s where we could go into the main kitchen at night, turn on the lights, and watch the cockroaches scatter.
Now I work for a well-known, upscale assisted living corporation. During a staff meeting in which I had planned to discuss the problem of cockroaches crawling across my desk, I found one crawling on my leg.

I was born in an American socialized healthcare facility (A Navy hospital) where there were roaches in the patients’ rooms.
You can count on finding stories like this anytime that the profit motive is taken out of an endeavor.

Parasites would be at the head of the line, I presume.

I can think of one way to clean up the UK hospital food situation quickly and that is to establish a policy in which it will be mandatory for ALL of the kitchen staff to partake of several randomly selected meals sent up to the patients each day, and their continued employment will be contingent on them having a nice ‘healthy’ serving.

When I was in Nam I saw people who lived in thatch huts who would eat the bugs, cooked or uncooked. A cooked cockroach, no big deal.
