Sandwiches off menu if you face A&E wait

HUNGRY patients waiting for hours in North Wales hospital A®Es will no longer be given sandwiches.

A retired consultant has “deplored” the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) decision to cut the humble butty for patients stuck in corridors for hours in hospital emergency departments.

Health board chiefs said they made the decision based on the advice of its catering and infection prevention teams, due to food hygiene and the “safe storage” of perishable items in a “busy clinical environment’.
