PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFING: Good Food Nation Bill Stage 1 debate

21 March 2022
RCN Scotland supports the intention behind this legislation and the aspirations behind becoming a ‘Good Food Nation’.

Access to healthy, nutritious food and improved availability and awareness of good food have clear public health benefits. NHS Scotland and individual health boards have an important role to play in ensuring access to healthy food for everyone who use their facilities. 

This Bill appears to us to be a missed opportunity in terms of improving access to good food on NHS estates for patients, their families and in particular, for staff.
