Although the care i received in my 6 months stay in Hamatology ward was excellent I would like to bring your attention to the daily food menu which was the same every week for the whole of my stay. I am unable to eat spicy foods and a lot of items on the menu were spicy. I would like to have seen a greater variety and some "plain options " For instance for the whole six months there was 2 types of pudding chocolate sponge /custard or apple pie /custard and two types of fruit apple or banana.
As maybe you can imagine with such a long stay in hospital your days are very long with the same routine and meal times become they highlight of your day. Changing the menu on maybe a two weekly basis and more variety with some plain food eg Irish stew or battered fish and chips /potatoes etc would make such a difference. Also more of variety of desserts and soups instead of the same two of each every day.
Otherwise my care was excellent and the staff very caring and understanding and I can never thank them enough
