I HAVE read with interest your various articles on the cleanliness of our hospitals.
One point that has seemed to slip from all copies is the fact that each year the Government pays many millions of pounds to private companies to clean the hospitals of the NHS, a percentage of which no doubt ends up in the pockets of the shareholders of these companies.
It is obvious from the state of the hospitals that these companies are not doing the job that they are being paid for.
Why then is the Government spending more money on trying to clean up the hospitals rather than making these companies do the job that they are paid for?
If they cannot do it, get rid of them, and bring in someone who can.
