uin	135471
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2018 answer text <p>The sourcing and provision of hospital food and catering facilities to meet the standards for nutrition and hydration is a matter for local determination, as every hospital will have different local circumstances. Every hospital has a responsibility to provide the highest level of care possible for their patients and this includes the quality and nutritional value of the food that is served and eaten.</p><p> </p><p>It can be helpful for NHS trusts to use local, in-season ingredients where possible, to minimise energy used in food production, transport and storage, as well as supporting the local economy, thereby promoting local employment. The NHS Standard Contract for providers requires them to have regard to the ‘Government Buying Standards for Food and Catering Services.’</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 18/04/2018 16:21:47 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
