"Food needs overall for people with allergies etc"

About: The Princess Royal Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

Recently in PRH everything great except that when you have food allergies I.e. dairy/ vegetarian I do not eat meat, for some reason do not know what to give you! the food which is on there menu is very limiting, there's nothing with either Quorn or Soya in like a Shepard's pie which could have veg with it, there plenty which can be done with both these products including vegetable curries etc, when asked about Flora butter which is made with plants sterols told that they don't have and I cannot have it as dairy allergy!,

When in previously lived on chips and jacket potatoes not good if T2 diabetic.. I think the catering department needs to wise up on what to feed people with allergies. was told food comes from Wolverhampton that's not local!!

There was an elderly person who was also diabetic who needed low sodium diet which seemed to be same type of food on the sheet which patients did not choose for themselves it was read to them by catering person!

Might even send a vegetarian / vegan cook book with recipes or allergy cooking book

Good afternoon,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your feedback is really valuable to us and I will share your suggestions with our Catering Manager for consideration. We are however very sorry that obtaining suitable meals was difficult for you during your admission and so please accept our apologies for this.

Once again thank you for bringing this to our attention.
