Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Barker (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 8 December 2005.
NHS: Staff Facilities
- Question
- My Lords, given that the Government are about to legislate on MRSA in the Health Bill, what research has been done into the incidence of infection control in relation to laundry services in different parts of acute hospitals? Also, how many acute hospitals have their own laundry services?
- Answer
-
My Lords, a number of acute hospitals have their own laundry services. I can find out the exact numbers and write to the noble Baroness. We know that the number of items laundered in the NHS has continued to rise from about 400 million to more than 500 million in the past three or four years, so a good standard of service is being applied. I will write her on the issue of research because I do not have the details in my head.
