NHS hospital cleanliness scale 'too basic'

Posted on 27/11/2009 in Medical Government/ NHS related news

The criteria against which NHS hospitals are measured for their cleanliness is too simplistic and should be replaced with a more sophisticated model, it has been asserted.

These comments were made by Baroness Young, chair of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who stated that the inspection rating - which currently ranges from excellent to poor - is not good enough, reports the Telegraph.

A CQC report concluded that avoidable factors - such as poor nursing standards, unclean wards and a lack of strong leadership - at Basildon and Thurrock University NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust were responsible for 400 deaths in the space of one year.

The newspaper quotes Ms Young as telling BBC Radio 4: "We inherited the annual health check from our predecessor, we are very clear that it is not the way we want to regulate in the future."

In related news this week, information acquired by Pulse magazine showed that the NHS has spent an extra 78 million pounds on boosting its bureaucracy since 2007.
