    AbstractThe enactment of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 represents a watershed moment in the history of the delivery of high quality nutritional care. The problem of undernutrition has been an intractable issue in health and social care for decades. This new act comes at the same time as a range of new initiatives, such as the high impact actions for nursing and midwifery, which include an action to stop inappropriate weight loss and dehydration in NHS care. Poor nutritional care equals poor quality care; it is an expensive waste of resources that the NHS can ill afford as we meet the challenge of delivering comprehensive healthcare in this financial climate.
