Watchdog censures Highlands hospital over dirty linen
Inspectors found contaminated linen on “ready-to-use”
patient beds during a hospital visit.
They also saw body-fluid stains on a patient locker and dirty or contaminated patient equipment at Mid Argyll Community Hospital and Integrated Care Centre in Lochgilphead.
The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate (HEI) issued four requirements and four recommendations to NHS Highland in the wake of the inspection.
