Mr. Laurence Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what training is given to NHS staff in (a) the cleanliness of
hospitals and (b) preventing infections; and if he will make a statement. [149764]
Mr. Denham: [holding answer 9 February 2001]: Last year, to help ensure that all National Health Service domestic and service staff
receive appropriate training, we issued "Standards for environmental cleanliness in hospitals" jointly with the Infection Control
Nurses' Association and the Association of Domestic Management. This is an effective audit tool that sets out how environmental
cleanliness standards are maintained. It contains detailed criteria relating to the education and training of staff involved in the
cleaning process, which ensure that they possess the competencies to meet agreed hygiene standards.
All staff, including those employed by support services shall receive training in prevention and control of infection. There is also
a programme of on-going education for existing staff, which includes updating on policies, feedback of audit results, and
identification of action needed to correct any deficiencies.
