This is the bit I find most depressing: "No one wants to be treated in a dirty hospital but sadly the culture of cleaning was sold off at the same time as compulsory competitive tendering was brought in." - from the head of Unison.
In my local hospital they seem to be pretty good - I was in surgical ward for four days last October and I thought the cleaning was exemplary - showers spotless, all surfaces wiped down every day, and the cleaners told us that they "clear" a ward once a week and clean it from top to bottom (including walls, curtain rails and light fittings). Plus the usual hand gel stuff outside each ward.
But I do wonder how typical this is.

C Difficile a factor in 1 out of 250 hospital deaths. Just how seriously does your hospital take it?
