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?

By those that administer the services it's called hitting targets, working within budgets, being efficient, conserving resources, learning lessons, to name but a few.
To everyone else it just looks like gross incompetance and mis-management.
