Makes me mad as hell, the hospitals are supposed to be clean. Bring back the old fashioned matron, thats what i say.

Why a deep clean. Aren't our hospitals this day and age supposed to be clean anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pattern now is that nothing happens until it's too late.
Right across the board, nobody gives a damn.
It's a case of bolting to stable door after the horse has gone.
Greed and selfishness rule.
How many victims are there from this culture?
I had a bad experience in the a following a cancer operation
and discharged myself before I snuffed it in hospital.
Lack of funding is a basic problem plus a general don't give a damn attitude.
People, these days, react after the event.

This is absolutely shameful. Even in many 3rd world countries they do not have to worry about this. When will the government realise that they must stop contracting out the cleaning services, fire a few penpushers and employ matrons again who will take responsibility for the cleanliness of the wards. We also must stop hotbedding, the practice of filling a bed the moment the previous occupant gets out of it. There must be proper time to sterilise the bed frame, mattress and bedside locker. There was a case where a woman went to the bathroom for 20 minutes and when she returned to her bed there was a new occupant in it! No way had that bed been sterilised. I have observed cleaning in hospitals and to say it is haphazard would be kind. I have watched people lazily pushing a filthy brush round trying to look busy, and not in the least bit interested in doing their job effectively and well. Also, isn't it time we began to use scrubs for nurses and doc's rather than the uniforms they use now? They should be laundered in the hospital too to ensure sterilisation. Slack, dirty practices will always lead to the heartbreaking incidents which are rising daily. People are precious and new born babies doubly so. Is our government so callous that it does not care enough to address this problem? Can we start a campaign to make them? Does anyone care enough to do so?
