http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/nhs/10552630/NHS-hospitals-serve-69p-meals-to-patients-as-spending-cut.html Food bills have been reduced by more than two thirds in certain NHS trusts some hospitals spending as little as 69p on each meal The NHS has also spent £thousands on special posters on "How how to spot malnutrition in patients". These posters are now placed in prominent positions on notice boards, walls and display boards in staff recreations rooms, offices, working stations and other locations where nurses, doctors, ancillary workers and auxiliaries gather. Even with these special posters, there are numerous reports of patients suffering from malnutrition in hospitals. Perhaps this is something to do with the food.
