HIQA - ‘safer, better, care’ standards
HIQA’s Acting Director of Regulation Mary Dunnion said: “Patients have the right to expect that equipment used as part of their care is clean in the first instance and cleaned after use when it is shared with other patients.”
“Hospital management need to tackle the problems head on by prioritising environmental cleaning and maintenance in patient areas, and by supporting and ensuring staff compliance with hand hygiene training and implementation.”
