Abstract
AN interesting article in the Lancet (61, Jan 13, 1945) discusses the monotonous, badly cooked and often scanty menus provided by hospitals. The fault lies, the writer concludes, not only with the hospitals, which fail to appreciate the importance of correct feeding and, in most instances, to employ a single experienced food officer with sufficient influence over the hospital's income, but also with the medical men, who do not insist that their patients' needs are properly met.
