Campaigners have pushed for Vegan option to be law in all hospitals and schools. The Vegan Society requests a new law to enable plant-based meal options are available in public sector buildings. Provision is often lacking, it noted, claiming vegan hospital patients often rely on family and friends to get the meals they need.
Lesley Griffiths, rural affairs minister, exclaimed institutions should be mindful of their customers’ demands. However she encouraged campaigners to take up the issue with the public sector themselves.
A petition of 1,109 names has been given to the National Assembly, calling for public bodies to guarantee “at least one plant-based food option on every daily menu”.
