Hospitals named and shamed over quality of food

LIMERICK’S Mid-Western Maternity Hospital was last night named and shamed as the worst place in Ireland for patients’ meals.

The maternity centre came bottom of a poll after patients of 52 hospitals nationwide were asked what they thought about the quality of the food during their stay.

“The only issue I had with my stay was the quality of the food, which I would describe as inedible,” said one mother who gave birth at the Limerick hospital.
