Saint Martin’s Hospital in Odd Down, Bath, received a one-star hygiene rating primarily because a staff member was unable to access essential digital food safety records during an inspection in February. Despite this, the hospital’s overall cleanliness and food handling were reported as generally satisfactory.
The low rating was specifically related to the management of food safety— a category that evaluates systems ensuring food is safe to eat, staff knowledge of food safety protocols, and confidence in sustaining these standards.
