Hospital: Some patient food ‘is unacceptable’

A leading maternity hospital is reviewing the quality of food it gives mothers after admitting some patient meals are “unacceptable”.

The Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital made the move after images of meals there were posted online.

One dish — of badly burned potato wedges, a splash of ketchup and a sausage roll — provoked a furious reaction when revealed by broadsheet.ie late last week.
