A MAN from Glasgow has taken to social media to voice his outrage over the meal served to his uncle at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, branding it a “joke.”

Paul Wardrop posted several images of his uncle Thomas’ cottage pie meal which looked to be overcooked and burnt on his Facebook.

In one picture, Paul holds up overcooked peas which are stuck together.

Several other social media users voiced their concerns on the issue as well.

In a scathing online post, Paul wrote: “This what my uncle Thomas got for his dinner in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. It’s meant to be just built and that is meant to be cottage pie, peas and potatoes. F****** joke.”

“I would not give an animal that because it probably would not eat it. How can you put that out for someone?

“I want answers. How could you even try and eat that? I would eat dog s*** before that, but I would probably just do without. The second picture is meant to be peas.”

Glasgow Times:

Tom Steele, director of facilities and estates NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “We apologise unreservedly for the unacceptable standard of meal provision served to this patient.

“This is being thoroughly investigated.”

“We know how important a nutritious diet is to our patients and we listen to the feedback from our patients regarding the quality of our catering services and use this information to continually improve satisfaction levels,” he added, reports the Daily Record.

The post comes just days after the Evening Times reported how inspectors warned over cleanliness standards at the hospital after finding patient trolleys contaminated with blood and "significant levels of dust" on ventilation panels.

The problems were detected during unannounced inspections by Healthcare Improvement Scotland between January 29 and 31 this year, ordered by Health Secretary Jeane Freeman, after it emerged patients had contracted infections linked to pigeon droppings at the site.

The inspectors also heard the hospital was struggling with high levels of sickness absence and vacancy rates among its cleaning staff.

Jane Grant, chief executive of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “The report has highlighted a number of areas that we need to address. Work is already underway to action the requirements and recommendation that Healthcare Improvement Scotland have identified.”
