25% OF UK'S NHS HOSPITALS ARE UNSANITARY

INDEPENDENT: One in four hospital trusts 'fails to meet hygiene standards'
The independent NHS watchdog, the Healthcare Commission, has pledged to crack down on dirty hospitals after official figures showed one in four trusts had failed to meet minimum hygiene standard.

Annual performance ratings for every NHS trust, published today, show 44 hospital trusts out of 172 (25 per cent) failed at least one of three core standards on infection control. Overall, hygiene was the area where compliance with the core standards set by the Commission for the NHS was lowest.
YUCH.

SOCIALISM SUCKS. (More here.)
