'Serious failures' in the public health system led to the deaths of 19 people linked to outbreaks of listeria and streptococcus, a former health chief has claimed
These outbreaks had followed"radical changes" to local government which"unravelled" the public health system at the time, Prof Ashton said.
"This has been reflected in the deterioration in performance in areas that include sexual health, immunisation and vaccination and screening programmes." Prue Leith has previously criticised hospital meals and is calling for them to be made more appealing and nutritious. The Royal College of Nursing reacted sceptically to Leith's appointment - with director Patricia Marquis saying"you don't need a celebrity chef to tell you hospital food needs an overhaul".
