the nhs hospitals?

I live in the South East of England and all the hospitals around here are full of overflowing bins with needles sticking out of them,and according to the press maggotts falling out of the theartres air vents(BARNET HOSPITAL)The toilots are blocked up and more then once i have seen sh*t and pi*s all over the seat and floors.Then i had the experience of having to go to a hospital in Cambridge(ADDENBROOKE)My dad was in there for over a week having his stomach removed.Not once was there a bit of sh*t on the floor in the loos.the staff were fantastic the wards were spotless and i didnt see one bin overfilled.Also all the alcohol hand wash was always filled something that is very rare from the south-east of england........so my question is.....how can one nhs hospital be of such high standard and another be so filthy and disgusting that i would refuse my dog to go in there.i know not all hospitals are bad,Eastbourne dont seem to bad and no doubt there are some other good ones about SORRY TO HEAR THAT PRINCESS.GOOD LUCK SWEETHEART

1. my nan went into bri for an operation 3 weeks ago she came out fine the operation was a sucess. that was until she was at home and felt very poorly so my mum rushed her back and shes caught ecoli and is so poorly at the moment shes been seperated from all other wards is up to her eyeballs on morphine, keeps havin operatios coz her organs are failing and her stomache is ballooning up she is so not with it and hasnt got a clue what is happening and probably doesnt know where she is coz of the drugs. she is actin all senile and eccentric and that is not my nan. so at the moment im thinking hospitals are horrible dirty diseased places. my poor nana. hope your dad gets better.xxxxxxxxxxxx
2. Addenbrookes is one of the top hospitals in the country ,especially for heart surgery. Whether they get higher funding than the other hospitals you mentioned,I don't know.The local health authority or hospital trust are the ones responsible for the financing and budgeting of the hospital. The hospital management are responsible to run the hospital and services within these budget constraints.Whether the allocated budget is sufficient to maintain a high degree of hygiene and cleanliness or whether there are sufficient staff,properly trained, to be able to keep the wards clean also the amount of supervision,like the old matrons,who can ensure the standards are not allowed to drop.At the end of the day it is all down to the management who must properly prioritise their resources.
3. This is mainly due to poor money management and this happens at a lot of hospitals all over the country, because proper provisoins and budgets are not divised then the money given to each hospital can sometimes run out very quickly. It can also be due to the fact that all hospitals are run by different healthcare trusts under nhs control and these trusts can sometimes not allocate enough money to certain hospitals and more than is needed to others. Hope this helps.
