here‘s prue leith talking this morning about why she‘s got involved.er the years i‘ve campaigned quite often with different organisations about hospital food because it seems to me so obvious that if you‘re in a hospital you need to be fed healthily — food is medicine. but it‘s notjust about health, it‘s about pleasure. i mean, why not take the opportunity of lunch or supper to give patients, who are not having a joyous time in hospital, no one‘s there voluntarily, a bit of pleasure in their lives? you know, to put a smile on their face. we can speak now to paul freeston, chief executive of the frozen food company apetito, who supplies hundreds of nhs hospitals. ben reynolds from the charity sustain, which runs the campaign for better hospital food. and phil davies, head of estate and facilities at the robertjones and agnes hunt orthopaedic nhs hospital. they have an internal team of caterers and produce food on site. thank you all forjoining us. paul, your company is one of the main food providers for the nhs and it is a lwa ys providers for the nhs a

the tv chef, prue leith, is among those brought in by the goverment to decide.ek. sport now on afternoon live with jane dougall. we have to start with the cricket, and it‘s been a terrible day so far for england. it was a collapse of epic proportions. england all out for 67, that is their 12th lowest test total, against australia. at one point they were 511—6. australia are batting now. they‘ve lost a wicket david warner bowled by broad. so after all ofjofra archer‘s brilliance with the ball on day one, his superb 6—45 to topple australia for a modest 179, and with the stage set australia for a modest 176, and with the stage set for the batsmen to respond in style, under blue skies at headingley, their reply was dismal. the tourists did bowl well, consistently challenging the outside edge at a good pace. england just couldn‘t handle it, they were 67 all out injust 27.5 overs. joe denly top scored with 12, that tells you everything you need to know. hazlewood taking 5—30 and cummins 3—23. four catches for warner at first slip. remember, this is a critical match f

great british bake 0ffjudge, prue leith, will advise the government on how to improve the quality ofrved at nhs hospitals in england. the review aims to set new standards for the 140 million meals served every year. it follows the deaths of six people due to an outbreak of listeria, linked to pre—packaged sandwiches and salads, which started at one of nhs england's food suppliers. what we want this review to do is actually to look at where these best practices are happening. we need to learn from those, understand where the gaps in the systems are so we can help people eat a healthy diet in hospital so that path to recovery isa in hospital so that path to recovery is a much quicker and we can keep oui’ is a much quicker and we can keep our vital hospital stuff healthy and well by giving them access to great food as well. thames valley police force will hold a one minute silence at 11 o'clock to remember pc andrew harper, who was killed in the line of duty last week. colleagues in his hometown of wallingford, say they are moved by the amount of support they've received from the commun
