I HAVE read the front page story in the Bolton Evening News (Wednesday, March 9) regarding a mother's claim on the cleanliness of a hospital ward with a growing sense of shock.

The shock was not regarding the allegations against the hospital - which I am in no position to comment about - but shock at the fact that this woman actually admitted to taking rubbish out of an allegedly infected hospital ward and transported it to her own home and that she was considering bringing in her own cleaning materials to clean the room.

Come on Mrs Doherty - you work in a nursing home. Have you never heard of the COSHH regulations?
