So what has gone wrong? Because cleaning has such a poor profile it is relegated to “as and when” and because untrained people are given cleaning duties (not always untrained but often enough) the work becomes drudgery. Because other untrained and unknowledgeable people are given the task of drawing up cleaning schedules and specifications, the work is often poorly defined and therefore will be poorly completed. Some cleaning specifications may be years out of date and is usually left to the cleaners themselves. If the cleaning is taken seriously then standards may start to improve. Cleaning is much more than a mop and bucket and it certainly is not the same as cleaning in your house – it requires high standards to be set and continuously maintained by monitoring.
Staff retention is a major problem – most staff are on the lowest wages possible, but even so are never used correctly or efficiently so the job is looked on as drudgery. Who wants to work in those conditions? Certainly not the hospital managers! The more vacancies there are, due to vacancies, sickness or holidays, the harder the existing staff have to work and this increases their resentment. Add to that mix, poor resources to do the cleaning with because hospital purchasing departments do not know how to clean and so do not know what to buy for the most effective cleaning, and what do you get? The situation, as it currently is.
What is the answer? A reported 82% domestic staff turnover in 9 months* (report: management and delivery of hospital cleaning services in Wales 2003*) which is more than likely echoed everywhere else, is very costly in terms of capital not to mention skill shortages.
This says that something drastic needs to be done and quickly to turn a very wasteful situation around.
