The CAP Inspector, said: “The Spire Wellesley Hospital in Southend-On-Sea has once again proven its commitment to its patients by achieving Gold Awards for its catering services from the Continuous Advancement Programme (CAP). Within its catering services, the hospital’s kitchens and ward catering staff really went the extra mile.
