The Cornwall Food Programme (CFP) was developed to address the food supply needs of the National Health Service (NHS) in the county of Cornwall. It was started in 2001and is run by Cornwall Healthcare Estates and Support Services (CHESS), a shared service across all three Cornish NHS Trusts. One of the CFP’s core objectives is to incorporate local and organic food sourcing initiatives. The CFP has two broad aims. First, to work in partnership with local producers, suppliers and distributors encouraging them to tender for NHS contracts and if successful to purchase and process a significant percentage of Cornish produce for use in patient, visitor and staff meals. Second, the CFP recognises the pivotal role of the NHS Trusts within their local communities. The Cornish NHS Trusts, through the CFP, work to promote health and tackle obesity, as well as assisting in the education of the community with regard to the necessity for good food and nutrition.
