HEALTHCARE COMMISSION

How well are acute trusts following the hygiene code? (24th November 2008)
This publication describes the Healthcare Commissions findings from 51 inspections of acute NHS trusts (about 30% of the acute sector) to assess their performance regarding cleanliness and infection control. The Healthcare Commission praised NHS trusts for showing increasing commitment to reducing healthcare-associated infections. However, the NHS must maintain the pressure, because the spotchecks revealed gaps in many trusts’ systems.
