    The report discusses monthly cleaning audits across several hospital sites, noting both improvements and ongoing issues in some areas.

    North Manchester General Hospital - HDU and Ward D4.

    There are concerns about consistency of staffing, particularly at weekends and when regular staff are absent. Competencies are still an issue at some sites like North Manchester.

    Monthly Cleaning Report Update

    1. Introduction

    1.1 The purpose of this paper is to provide an update to the Trust Board on
    current cleaning issues.

    2. Improvements

    2.1 Monthly meetings between the Director and Associate Director of Facilities
    and the Divisional Director of ISS Mediclean continue.

    2.2 The majority of rechecks continue to be completed within the contractual time
    frame on all sites except North Manchester and the financial penalties applied
    in month reflect this.

    2.3 Even though there have been a number of cleaning issues, only problems in
    theatre outer areas have been escalated to the Trust Monitoring Officers.

    3 Cleaning Spot Checks

    3.1 Cleaning spot checks have taken place as follows and areas marked pass or
    fail. For very high risk functional areas, i.e. theatres, HDU/ITU, SCBU a score
    of 95% or above equates to a pass, for high risk functional areas i.e. wards a
    score of 90%or above equates to a pass.

    Site Date Inspectors Ward/department Audit Scores


    visited
    North 4.8.10 Associate Director Ward G6 96.5% - Pass
    Manchester of Facilities HDU 91.3% - Fail
    Director of Facilities
    North 7.8.10 Associate Director I5 87.15% - Fail
    Manchester Saturday of Facilities I6 87.22% - Fail

    Royal 2.8.10 Associate Director Ward E1 90.9% - Pass


    Oldham of Facilities Ward E3 95.6% - Pass
    ITU 95.3% - Pass
    HDU 89.8% - Fail
    Royal 7.8.10 Associate Director Ward G1 94% - Pass
    Oldham Saturday of Facilities Ward F3 90.2% - Pass

    Fairfield 5.8.10 Associate Director Ward 20 93.8% - Pass

    3.2 All areas inspected were selected at random by the inspectors. The cleaning
    scores on the wards North Manchester were very disappointing. The failures
    were associated with below standard cleaning of the floors in the side rooms
    on I5 and I6, which should have received a thorough clean on the day of the
    spot check and some dust on beds on HDU. But despite one area failing at
    ROH there has been significant improvement, particularly on G1 which has
    been given additional cleaning hours due to the level of patient activity on this
    ward.

    3.3 Equipment cleaned by nursing staff including dressing trolleys and commodes
    was assessed. Only 1 commode was found to be soiled on Ward 21 at FGH
    and there was an accumulation of dust on equipment trolley’s on SCBU at
    Rochdale Infirmary which caused this audit to fail. Nursing staff on I6 at
    NMGH had to be reminded that it is their responsibility to clean patient notes
    trolleys which were extremely dusty.

    3.4 Ward 21 at FGH at the time of the inspection had a number of challenging
    inpatients which made cleaning difficult. An additional toilet clean has now
    been implemented on this ward.

    4. Concerns

    4.1 There are still areas that fail to achieve the required performance rating and
    are being monitored weekly. In addition ISS Mediclean has been cautioned
    about the failure to undertake the required number of audits at NMGH. The
    cleaning committee has address the differentials in cleaning scores of the ISS
    Supervisors and the Trust Monitoring Officers particularly at ROH and the
    process to be used has been reinforced.

    4.2 The following areas are currently being monitored weekly

    • North Manchester General Hospital - HDU, D4


    [HDU and D4 have not caused concerns previously]

    4.3 Staffing competencies still continue to be a concern, although there has been
    a significant improvement at ROH. The new manager at NMGH is now in post
    and is receiving specific training about healthcare cleaning requirements. In
    addition staffing levels, particularly at weekends are a concern as is the
    consistency of cover provided for annual leave. It is often evident that there is
    a dip in standards when the regular healthcare cleaner is on holiday or off
    sick.

    4.4 There is a concern that even though the nursing staff are fully aware about
    the escalation policy it is not being effectively used and nursing staff on 2 of
    the areas inspected had not undertaken cleaning duties that they are
    responsible for. The Associate Director of Nursing has escalated this to the
    Divisional Nurse Managers.
