  • Policy Framework for Good Food & Catering Procurement Context
    Appendix A: Policy Framework for Good Food & Catering Procurement (i) Context: Bristol has made a commitment to work towards a healthier, more sustainable food system, one which reduces food poverty, supports local food businesses and reduces the environmental impact of the way in which we produce, consume and dispose of our food. Bristol spends £millions on food and catering services annually and every public sector setting, from leisure centres and hospitals, to public open spaces, should have a food environment designed so that the easy choices are also the healthy ones (Gov.uk 2017). Bristol City Council is a key partner in helping Bristol become both a healthier city and a Gold Sustainable Food City. Through the development and adoption of a Good Food and Catering Procurement Policy, Bristol can use its significant buying power and its control and influence over contracts, concessions and licences, to encourage healthier and more sustainable food consumption and drive local economic development. Good food is vital to the quality of people’s lives in Bristol. As well as being tasty, healthy and affordable, the food we eat should be good for nature, good for workers, good for local businesses and good for animal welfare (Bristol Good Food Charter) National and local policy drivers include: Childhood Obesity: A Plan for Action (Dept. of Health 2017) Strategy, Policy & Commissioning for Diet (National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2015) A Plan for Public Procurement: Food & Catering (DEFRA 2014) PHE (2017) Strategies for Encouraging

  • BOPF & BCC Newsletter February 2021
    February 2021 Issue 4 Welcome to the Bristol Older People’s Forum and Bristol City Council’s COVID-19 information and advice newsletter. A message from Dr Neil Kerfoot Dear Residents The COVID-19 vaccination programme is well underway. 7 million people have now received their first dose, with the government aiming to give 15 million by mid-February. On Monday 11 January vaccinations began at Ashton Gate Stadium. If you do get invited to have your vaccine at Ashton Gate and are not able to get there, don’t worry. You will also receive an invitation for your vaccine at your local primary care centre. NHS England is following a national vaccination prioritisation list for national vaccination programme which is being delivered in phases starting with the most vulnerable. If you are waiting to hear about your vaccine you will be contacted as soon as it’s your turn so there is no need to contact your GP. Please be aware, there are a number of scam emails and text messages in circulation which claim to be from the NHS and ask people to provide payment details to verify their eligibility for the vaccine. The NHS would never ask anyone for their bank details. Once you have had your first vaccine, you will be contacted again to attend an appointment for your second dose, which will be offered up to 12 weeks later. The data around the vaccines has shown that the first vaccine is at least 74% effective in protecting against COVID-19. Public Health professionals are advising that it’s better for us to give the first jab to as many residents as possible to prevent people from becoming ill and requiring treatment in hospital, than to give a smaller number of residents both doses of the vaccine.
