Liberal Democrats revel that almost half of hospital kitchens are failing hygiene inspections
According to a nationwide survey by the Liberal Democrats, almost half of all hospitals kitchens and/or canteens in England could be failing to meet cleanliness and hygiene standards. Nearly a fifth of hospitals surveyed kept food at the wrong temperatures or in unsafe conditions, while 11 hospitals had problems with vermin. Offending hospitals reported problems including cockroaches and mouse droppings in kitchens, medical waste on food handling equipment and poor personal hygiene in staff.
