Consultant raises concerns about hospital food

Hospital food is bad for your health, according to a leading consultant.

Dr Anthony O'Connor said that patients with heart problems are being served deep-fried meals, chips and sausages while in hospital.

The Consultant gastroenterologist wants a Jamie Oliver style reform of hospital menus which he said are potentially damaging to already sick peoples' health.

He says if smoking can be banned in hospitals, then a similar ban on fried food should be considered.
