Another factor is that I have no idea how strict his requirements are. Not all moslems follow that long list as a given. In hospitals, schools, universities, council offices etc across the uk, halal options are offered as standard. Usually, this does not require different kitchens or different staff......it generally involves a bunch of bulk bought frozen halal meat and a few other important ingredients. It ain't perfect and most moslems will likely engage in a much stricter definition at home....but the compromise seems to work for most people and does not involve more than a minimal cost on the part of the authority.
