A Scottish hospital has been told to improve after eight out of 10 bed frames examined during an inspection were found to be contaminated, according to an article on the Courier website.
Four of the 10 mattresses inspected on one ward were also said to be dirty when inspectors made an unannounced visit to Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline.
In addition, domestic staff were seen reusing household gloves to clean a number of different rooms.
Dust was also discovered in high level areas such as curtain rails, and walls in one ward were damaged.
