FEEDING OF NHS PATIENTS
Tabled by John Hemming (Liberal Democrat)

The motion
That this House notes that in the Health Care Commission's Patient Survey of 2005, 18 per cent. of patients said that `they did not get enough help' with eating their meals and 21 per cent. said that they only got enough help `sometimes'; believes that it is a good idea to ensure that patients do get enough help with eating their meals in hospital; and calls for the Government to ensure that priority is given to feeding patients rather than spending time on satisfying the insatiable hunger of bureaucracy for forms.
