Healthy Food & Drink Audit

Excellence at Ryde Results from the 2024 Healthy Food and Drink Framework audit demonstrated that Ryde Hospital has maintained an excellent level of compliance with the audited Framework practices since 2020 The fifth annual state-wide audit of the Healthy Food and Drink in NSW Health Facilities for Staff and Visitors Framework, was conducted in February/March 2024 and measured progress by food and drink outlets to meet a set of 13 healthy food and drink practices required by the Framework. All eligible outlets at Ryde Hospital were assessed against the 13 practices. One café and four vending outlets were audited. 100% of outlets achieved 100% compliance with all Framework practices, this has increased from 60% in 2020 and 80% in 2023, and reflects considerable effort by all involved.
