A Scottish hospital has been cited after dirty equipment was discovered in its maternity unit, according to an article on the Herald Scotland website.
Inspectors found blood on a birthing mat in a delivery room ready for the next patient at the Vale of Leven hospital in Dunbartonshire.
Two cot mattresses were also contaminated and there was dirt and marks on two sets of birthing stirrups in a delivery room.
Some of the dirty equipment had been included on checklists and signed by staff to confirm they had cleaned the equipment.
