I DON'T know what all the fuss is about in the national media regarding NHS hospital food and changing it.

All I have to say is, patients here never had it so good.

Everyone I know, who has been a patient recently, is fully satisfied with the meals in hospital.

If anyone complains about the food at Blackburn Infirmary or Queen's Park Hospital, they must be very cynical.

The meals are great -- clean and sumptuous and your own selections from the menu. What more does anyone want?

The people who complain must be spoilt or mollycoddled if they are not satisfied.

There's always the odd one who thinks he's some kind of professional gourmet or finds something to nag about.

Keep up the good work, hospital caterers -- you're doing a great job. Smart alecs are ten a penny.
