| Annotation | This open letter to the National Council of Women of Great Britain (NCWGB) membership summarizes the survey's results to 9 questions asked about adequate nutrition in hospitals and care homes. This subject has been of increasing concern to other organisations in the voluntary sector working with older adults, and is directly influenced by Age Concern's Hungry to be Heard campaign. The Health Committee finds: "In summary, careful and caring observation of patients' optimum dietary intake and their capacity to feed themselves is vital, and does not come from external caterers." (KJ/RH). |
