* Ward budgets are prepared on the basis of the number of inpatients per day recorded in the hospital's computer system, the number of inpatients being calculated at the beginning of each day. Food budget, food ordered, and changes in food ordered for participating wards I, II and III before and with intervention. The control period is the calendar year 2003. The following year includes the intervention period (from 1 July to 31 December 2004). The collecting of data is done one month before termination of the intervention, as the effect is assumed to be at its peak at this time. The increase in consumption has been calculated as a percentage, "+" meaning increase in consumption and "-" meaning surplus.
