Health Update: From bed to worse
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HOSPITAL food is often unappetising, unpalatable, unsuitable and in many instances is left untouched, says the Patients' Association. In its new guidelines, the association says that patients should not have to choose from the menu 24 hours in advance; that fresh fruit should always be on the menu and vegetables should not be overcooked; and that patients who cannot feed themselves should be given adequate help - while the food is still hot.
