"KCH rating for infection control/cleanliness"

About: King's College Hospital (Denmark Hill)

The cleaners actually cleaned my commode and then started to clean, with the same cloth, the bedside table I eat food on. that is the kind of people they employ. It makes me very distressed to think this kind of thing is allowed by a well paid CEO of an HS trust who clearly has no idea what happens to patients- using PALS as the way to ward off people.'...

I have previously offered contact details regarding how to register a complaint.

My role is not to discourage people from their right to register a complaint and my comments are generic in nature.
