[Margaret Pilkington]

Maybe some of the responsibility lies with cleaners, but I think that some people expect nursing staff to direct cleaners or perhaps monitor their work. In truth, the cleaners used to have supervisors to do this.
Cleaners are not allowed to clean up bodily fluids either(or they weren't when I worked in the NHS) so I think that again, nurses were called into question.

I think that we all have a responsibility to ensure cleanliness. If we find that an area in hospital is not as clean as it should be then it should be reported to who ever is in charge of that area...and if nothing is done about it then take it further and put it in writing.
