Hospital food infested with maggots!!
Over 857 infestations were reported in Portsmouth hospitals last week. Rats, maggots, cockroaches and mice were found all over the wards and even in patients slippers!!
All the food in the hospitals has to be thrown out in case of maggot infestation. Caterers were bought in to supply fresh food to the patients in the wards as this was deemed the only safe alternative.
The shocking figures reveal two-thrids of trusts in England had problems with rate, biting insects and fleas. However outsourcing catering is only battling a tiny part of the real problem. An NHS spokesperson said, “We need greater transparency in NHS infection control, and publishing data like this one way we can drive up overall hygiene standards”.
