"lack of cleanliness"

About: St Peter's Hospital (Chertsey)

Anything else?

The staff were all absolutely wonderful and the medical care fabulous but the standard of cleanliness in paediatric A&E and on Oak ward was not good. The bed frames were dirty and needed a proper wash, the chairs were grubby, the floors were not washed properly and actually looked dirty and when I wiped the chair with a baby wipe the baby wipe came away grey. I cannot imagine the rest of the furniture was any cleaner.

I did see the nurses washing the mattress between the patients but no-one cleaned the bed frames
