FEEDING OF NHS PATIENTS

Motion Text

That this House notes that in the Health Care Commission's Patient Survey of 2005, 18 per cent. of patients said that `they did not get enough help' with eating their meals and 21 per cent. said that they only got enough help `sometimes'; believes that it is a good idea to ensure that patients do get enough help with eating their meals in hospital; and calls for the Government to ensure that priority is given to feeding patients rather than spending time on satisfying the insatiable hunger of bureaucracy for forms.
