I am more concerned that health service buildings be hygenic and easy to clean. I have only once visited the new Blackburn hospital and was amazed by the massive carpeted reception area - must have cost a bomb!
It looks more homely than vynil/lino would but cannot be kept as clean.
Sculpture and paintings in health buildings have the same effect on me - why should we pay extra to ensure they are kept clean (if in fact they are so kept)
