Staff at Nottingham hospitals are being offered hot meals for £2 as part of an initiative to help them cope with the cost of living crisis. Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) said it launched the programme after becoming aware of some staff going without decent meals.
Now, more than 17,000 staff working for the trust, which runs the Queen’s Medical Centre and City Hospital, can get at least one hot £2 meal a day. Staff can also add a dessert and a drink for an extra £1 each.
The trust said around 2,500 meals a week are being bought across three restaurants and are available 24/7. NUH said the move has been well received by staff since it was implemented in September.
