Hospital Food at King's London


I was visiting King's hospital in Camberwell last week and I popped into their shop to get a sandwich.

I was shocked at the prices they were charging, A beef sandwich was £3.95 which seems a hell of a lot for a basic Sarine, that's Top end prices you expect to see in Pret a Manger and other deli sandwich shops.

When you are visiting a hospital you notice that the vast majority of the people there are not wealthy, they are ordinary people going about their business, struggling to pay the bills and yet they are being asked to fork out top dollar for basic sustenance while sorting out their health issues or visiting friends and family.
This sends out a bad example of how we view our access to basic food and how it is reserved for those that can afford it .

A hospital should set the benchmark and should be High in quality and Low on price

Come on Labour party! this basic cost of living crisis is what you should be focusing on in the run up to the election in 2015 . The Tories are not helping anyone apart from the wealthy in this country , its about time we had saw fair prices return to our food shelves. The price of oil has dropped enormously over the past six months due partly to government sanctions against Putin, this just shows when they want to change systems they can do it . So lets fix up our food pricing structure so that good quality food is available to the masses and not just the few.
