Food allergies are difficult enough to manage on a day-to-day business but when you are ill in hospital it is much worse. Adults and children have found themselves not eating because there is nothing on the ward they can have, food has been appalling (see photo), or they have felt unsafe with the staff lack of knowledge of food allergies. All patients need to eat when ill to build up strength, this is detrimental to their health and their mental health, as this can cause anxiety.

In the past family and friends have brought food in for them so they can eat safely and something that it is edible, but with covid this has made this very difficult.

Patients either adult or child should not have to rely on family and friends to supply food, we have as much rights as any other patient, yet we are being treated differently.

These are microwave meals and the choice is limited, so if in hospital for some time you will repeat every day for breakfast, every 4 days for main meals, and every 2 days for desert.
