"The poor quality of food"

I have been in the hospital quite a few times over many years due to the fact that I have cancer. Over the years, I think the standard of food patients receive is of very poor quality.

I sent many meals back because I felt they were inedible I resorted to getting my spouse to bring me Vegemite sandwiches because the food was so disgusting.

People staying in the hospital are there because they have either had surgery, or they have an illness so I feel they need to receive decent food to recover. I could not even get a decent sandwich. I believe they are quite obviously pre-made and kept in a cool room so when the patient receives them they are soggy, so soggy that they fall apart when you pick them up. The standard of food really is appalling and I feel big changes need to be made.

After staying in 10 days, I was moved to a rehabilitation facility. Well, what a pleasant surprise the food there was. I spent 14 days there and the food was absolutely beautiful. I had a good choice of meals, they were always hot when you received them, and they were delicious.

I feel something needs to be done about the standard of food patients are receiving because what you receive to eat now is disgusting. Quite honestly I feel we feed our pet dogs better.
