Keen on cleanliness but no attention to details

Story from nhs.uk

"Keen on cleanliness but no attention to details"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary

In hospital for 2 weeks. Staff was very keen on cleanliness. Some staff was friendly and caring, especially the health workers. Nursing staff work was below standard, did not check if patient ate or drank. There was a lack of communication between various departments regarding existing medical conditions. The physiotherapy was good and the staff was helpful and caring.
