The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – A recent campaign in the UK, led by over 1,200 health professionals, advocates for plant-based meals as the default option in hospitals. What a novel move to serve healthy, nutritious food in hospitals to patients. This initiative not only promises significant health benefits but could save the NHS £74 million annually while also addressing climate change.

Maybe the HSE can take note of this initiative here to promote positive outcomes for patients, hospital purse-strings and the planet alike? – Yours, etc,

LOUISA MOSS,

Dublin 7.
