Why this petition matters

Started by Afra Price

Please join me in my petition on making the  standard and quality of food offered to inpatients in  Psychiatric hospitals a much higher one then what is currently being offered . 

We all know that eating well can improve your sense of well-being , mood and helping you feel better .

So I ask myself why are people in psychiatric hospitals receiving meals where the general quality of the food is

  1.  Frozen - Cooked and then heated 
  2. Limited in choice 
  3. Limited options for vegetarians and vegans as well as very limited Halal options.
  4. Limited variety in vegetables and what the vegetables being offered are usually under cooked.
  5. Not up to a high standard 

Ive heard of one Psychiatric hospital having cooks who would plan meals and then freshly cook it which shows the understanding and the need for good high quality and standards of food but then outsourcing frozen meals instead as it was deemed 'cheaper '.

For many who find themselves being a patient in a psychiatric hospital it is often for a longer period of time so why should these humans not have  their basics needs met of a good nutrious meal whilst receiving the rights help and support in which they need. 

A change for the better needs to happen !
