A Healthy Ireland Initiative ' Swap and Save' was launched at Portiuncula University Hospital Catering Department on 13 April in relation to soup and salad items. Also on the day the initiative highlighted the calorie count of two popular lunch items, which highlighted a significant difference in calorie counts. 

The Health Promotion initiative's main aim is to highlight how a few small changes to our diet can result in weight loss and overall health improvement. This initiative is also in keeping with the HSE policy on implementing calories to menus in staff canteens.
