The inspectors saw:

• Floors and curtains stained with blood

• Blood-splattered on trays used to carry equipment

• Badly soiled mattresses in the A&E department with stains soaked through to the foam filling

• Items that should only be used once still in use

• Equipment in the resuscitation room that was past the use-by date

• A children's blood pressure cuff heavily stained with blood

• Suction machines contaminated with fluid inside and out with what looked like mould growing on the equipment

What on earth is happening to our hospitals?
