Very disappointed with the catering at St George Public Hospital.
I have spent time in many hospitals and St George food is on the bottom of my ratings. Of a rating scale 1-10 I give them a 3. The catering name is My Choice - I have to say it is not My Choice.
I feel the food is bland and overcooked and freshly served meals would be healthier and more palatable. I believe you need more assortment of menu items and a visual of menu items instead of kitchen staff giving an account of the menu items. You could then have time to choose and decide what you want.Another hospital I know of has a great new system where patients, carers or catering staff can order via computer screen from their bed. This screen is also your TV, Internet and movie screen. Also, allow time to eat the meal before collecting the tray. I feel there is a lot of wastage of plastic utensils and other containers and it is no good for the environment and garbage disposal in Australia.Another strange concept is that there are only sugar-free drinks available throughout the hospital (even in the drink machines). You can purchase cakes and desserts containing sugar? At least the drink machines should have sugar drinks available.I believe the availability of wheelchairs for use by patients is very scarce and more wheelchairs are required.
The medical and nursing staff in the hospital were excellent and they get a 10/10 rating.
