Abstract
Coeliac UK, the national Charity for people with coeliac disease, is today launching its new campaign, 'Food Without Fear', for the improved provision of gluten-free meals across both the public sector and commercial catering industries.
Neil Watson~Jones, Chairman of the Hospital Caterers Association (HCA) says: "The HCA is pleased to be working along side Coeliac UK to improve the situation for people with coeliac disease. Much work is being done by hospital caterers across the UK to improve food services for all patients with special dietary needs. The newly launched Coeliac UK Toolkit will be an important aid to caterers in increasing awareness of the illness and the action that should be taken to ensure patients with coeliac disease receive the appropriate food and beverages whilst in hospital".
