I visited my friend today on ISGU (Hartshead building)
To my alarm, my friend told me that there is no hot water available on the ward for patients to wash, bathe or shower!
I understand that this has been the case for three days.
How is it possible to maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of infection? Also, patient dignity and respect is vital for recovery.
This must be a breach of Health and Safety regulations; I cannot see how a ward can be allowed to remain open without this vital resource, nor how this could have been left unattended to for so long.
