Upcoming healthcare conferences may discuss the state of food for those receiving healthcare in hospitals in Wales, which has been a hot topic lately.

A recent report by the auditor general for Wales found that the standard of food served to people in hospitals was low.

Steps have been made to improve the level of catering in hospitals, and most patients are satisfied with the standard, but the auditor said there was still much to be done, the BBC reported.

More work is needed to ensure those in hospital are getting the help they need at meal times.

Better records need to be kept, and more could be done to set up care plans for those with nutritional problems, the news provider reported.

The Daily Mail reported this week that often less than £1 a day is spent on food for hospital patients, but the Welsh report found that the amount spent can vary from £1.33 to £5.66.
