Meals on Wheels

As reported in the Advertiser this week Walsall's Meals on Wheels Service looks set to keep on delivering hot food following recommendations from the Health and Social Care Scrutiny Committee which objected to the scaling down of the service. Councillor Ault strongly resisted the proposals to provide frozen foods for everyone currently receiving Meals on Wheels because of concerns about quality and nutritional value.
The proposals sent from the committee include the provision of both frozen and hot meals as peoples circumstances differ and choices should be available. The cabinet will now consider the proposals and we should hear the outcome in the next few weeks.
