NHS patients in London had twice as much spent on their hospital meals compared with those in the North, it is claimed today.
An average of £5.17 was spent on meals provided in the capital, while patients in the North had to make do with just £2.45, according to the Lib Dems.
Researchers analysed Freedom of Information data for the total food costs of NHS Trust sites across London and the North, and the number of inpatient meals provided between 2014 and 2019.
