  I could tell you so many scary stories of when Jean went into Guys hospital for her kidney transplant operation at the end of 2003.
  The operation was a success, but in the end it failed (the new kidney had to be removed) because she contracted so many hospital acquired infections - fortunately not MRSA ( so we were told) and stayed in there for almost 6 months in 2004, being let out on the odd occasion.
  
  I don't blame privatisation, what I do blame is the people responsible - the people that the firm, contracted to do the cleaning, employed (perhaps allied to their wages); they really were so useless and no one from the hospital staff were checking them to ensure it was done properly.
  
  There were also many instances where the Consultant(s) came and took swabs from Jean's open wounds and didn't wash his hands or wear gloves.
  
  I know being a cleaner in a hospital is not a career move, but it must be instilled in all people who do it, they must do it properly and it must be a part of that contract that it is.
