LIKE Liz Edge (Letters, April 28) I went into York Hospital for an operation with my antiseptic wipes and awful foreboding, scared to death and convinced I was going to get MRSA.
What a shock, as soon as I entered Ward 26 I felt a real wimp. Gel on every locker, the ward is spotless, and cleaned thoroughly every day.
Dressings are changed in the treatment room and rules are kept, ie no sitting on beds, gel to be used at every examination.
Sister Booth is a young woman with her values of cleanliness like it should be.
From Mr McLaren and his team, to physios, nurses and cleaners, nothing is overlooked. Well done Ward 26.
