Food retail policy 2014

Food Retail Policy 2014

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGGC) has a pivotal responsibility to promote health within its population. The relationship between a diet and health status is unequivocal. The Board has endorsed a policy position on food, fluid and nutrition since 1993. The extant Food, Fluid and Nutrition (FFN) policy was approved in 2008 and was subsequently reviewed in 2011.
The Board Policy is aligned with National policy and guidance for healthy eating such as ‘Recipe for Success – Scotland’s Drink and Food Policy (2009)’ and ‘Obesity Route Map’ (2010) and the ‘Chief Executive Letter 01 (CEL1) Health Promoting Health Service’ (2010) requiring the NHS to increase availability, access and opportunities for healthier choices around food and drink for staff, visitors and patients in our hospitals. (This guidance does not include inpatient hospital food provision which is detailed in other national standards and policy)
