Dirty Bastards

So, according to a Conservative survey, the hospitals in this country are absolutely over ridden with infestations such as rats, mice, maggots etc etc.
How often do you hear people say "it smells like hospital". you used to hear this a lot whenever people smelt disinfectant, but now a hospital smells of.........................................nothing at all.
Well, I have a solution for all the politicians and beurocrats who want to get back to a clean hospital service again. It is such a simple solution and it took all of about 1 second for me to come up with the answer. Let us stop worrying about cost all the time and go for quality, we will all have heard of the saying, you get what you pay for, so why not go for a really radical way of doing things....are you ready?.......Lets kick all the cleaning contract firms out of the hospitals and employ proper cleaners that are assigned to a certain ward and let them keep their own ward clean, you know, like we used to years ago when a hospital smelt of bloody disinfectant and MRSA and C-dif were unheard of and how about another suggestion, lets get the old style matron re instated to run the wards. like I think I have said before not all progress is good. so let us see the people in charge admit they got it wrong and for once put peoples treatment and lives before a budget.

I agree with you entirely. I think contracting out and privatisation has a lot to answer for. In the old days cleaners worked for the same organisation as the Doctors and Nurses, and I think it fostered a sort of pride.
I heard on the radio today that foreign company's that own our utility firms are bleeding the British consumers dry, so they can keep prices down in their home countries. Utilities should never have been privatised,and where do we see this sort of stuff all start? With Mrs Thatcher! And they want to give her a state funeral!!

would the state funeral be done by the state or would it in fact be tendered out?

Yeah, we can contract it out to Hull City Council Waste Disposal. I know she's an old lady now, but she still makes my blood boil!!
