Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 8 December 2005 in the House of Lords, by Lord Warner (Labour).
NHS: Staff Facilities
- 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.
