Belford Hospital in Fort William, Scotland, has received a glowing report for cleanliness — apart from concern about plastic tubs bought at a discount store, according to an article on The Press and Journal website.
Inspectors found Belford to be “very clean” – but asked hospital bosses to tighten up infection control measures around items purchased outside of the national procurement system.
Inspectors referred to small plastic tubs used by patients on the wards for storage. The tubs were bought by hospital staff from discount store Poundstretchers.
The hospital must ensure it has an infection prevention and control arrangement in place before purchasing items without the NHS procurement system.
