The food services department at Northumberland Hills Hospital has new food delivery equipment. The first major upgrade to this critical equipment since the hospital’s opening more than two decades ago ...

The hospital tried a new meal delivery system for seven weeks last year. Patients were 100 per cent satisfied with those repasts, so the system will roll out hospital-wide in six months.

The current arrangement allows the hospital to operate at a cost per patient meal day of $25.75 including the cost of food, labour and equipment. Russell concurs.
