Although the care is second to none the same cannot be said for cleanliness.
I have recently been in ward 4 and in the wet room/toilet there is mould growing in and around the drain and on grab handles. The person cleaning this ward is in and out in a flash and I cleaned handles etc before using facilities.
Rails above beds were never cleaned and everything else gets a quick going over with wipes sometimes. Used towels are left overnight often and the shower chairs are disgusting. Myself and most other patients are immune compromised due to having chemotherapy treatment and this is a huge worry.
