James Martin Operation Hospital Food, Birmingham
22 Answers
Just watched the first episode of the second series. The kitchen has no standard recipes, nothing has been costed or dietician checked, they regularly waste a third of what they cook and no one has done anything about it.....
I used to manage a rehab department in the NHS. We knew where every penny had gone (better than our finance department did), how much resource we has spent on each patient and what the outcomes were, and so far as was possible what treatments worked and what didn't.
I seriously cannot believe that whoever has management responsibility for the hotel services has allowed this to happen.

Scarborough Hospital is doing really well, as is Bridlington now we are on the James Martin Menus. The only problem we have found is that staff especially are getting bored with the menu because we now have a one week rota, whereas it used to be three so a lot of the old favourites have disappeared. There is now much less waste though. I personally like the new menues as there is a lot of nice veggie meals and the home made soups always go down well with everyone
I watched it this morning and also the last series .
Shameful ,the amount of food that was thrown away .
I think that guy was making custard for the world and his wife .
This is only a small hospital compared to the one in the previous series ,so if a small unit can't get it right God knows how much food is being wasted on a national level .

The finance lady annoyed me. She knew what the money hole was, knew she had no costed recipes but hadn't done anything about it. Also the head chef. You don't need management support to get your staff to write down recipes and follow them. If you are disposing of that much waste every day, you stomp off and find someone and show them. The dieticians department have a responsibility to chase catering departments for their recipes and ingredients. Its all very well to say Oh morale but nothing gets done if you don't get off you arris and do something.
