A quarter of health trusts failed to meet standards over hospital infections while five were warned over blood-spattered walls and mouldy instruments under a toughened regulatory regime, the Guardian has learned.
Of particular concern was the state of ambulances, which were inspected for the first time. Investigators found dirty forceps stored in some vehicles as well as bloodstains.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) used its sweeping powers last year to assess how well NHS trusts were coping with hospital infections – which affect 300,000 patients a year.
Of the 167 trusts inspected, 42 were found by the commission to be in "breach" of NHS registration requirements by not meeting standards.
IF SOCIALIZED MEDICINE SUCKS THERE - WHERE THEY INVENTED IT AND BEEN AT IT FOR 60 YEARS - THEN OBAMA CAN'T MAKE IT WORK HERE.
IF PASSED, OBAMACARE WILL BE A DISASTER.
