Health inspectors find hospital in breach of hygiene code - Guardian
Extract:
"Health inspectors intervened last night to protect patients at an NHS hospital after they discovered it was in flagrant breach of hygiene regulations.
The Healthcare Commission served an improvement notice on Chase Farm hospital in Enfield, north London, after a spot check found staff were breaking the rules for combating the superbugs MRSA and Clostridium difficile. It was the first use of a new legal power to enforce the hygiene code introduced in October to stop the spread of healthcare-linked infections.
The commission found no excuse for the lapses at the hospital, which is one of two large units run by Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS trust. It noted that the trust board recently signed a self-assessment declaring its hospitals to be in full compliance with the code.
During unannounced visits, inspectors found a catalogue of defects."
