3 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report sets out the Trust s position with regard to environmental cleanliness during the year 1 st April 2008 to 31 st March It also advises Trust Board of the controls and systems in place to support the delivery and maintenance of high quality environmental cleanliness standards within the Southern Health and Social Care Trust. 2.0 STRATEGIC CONTEXT In 2005, the DHSSPS published Cleanliness Matters a regional strategy for improving the standard of environmental cleanliness in HSS Trusts. The Trust ratified at its Environmental Cleanliness Committee Meeting on 27 th May 2008 that it fully adopted the DHSSPS Cleanliness Matters Regional Strategy. 3.0 OPERATIONAL CONTEXT In 2008/09 work was carried out to harmonise working practices across all Trust facilities and this work will continue during 2009/10. The Trust secured funding of 50,000 from the DHSSPS for the purchase of a PDA hand held computer based system (Maximiser) for the recording of environmental cleanliness audit results. Data is currently being collected for the system which will be implemented during 2009/10. BICs (British Institute of Cleaning Science) accredited training has been agreed as a key training priority within Functional Support Services for domestic staff across the Trust. Training has already commenced and the programme will be rolled out to remaining staff over the next few years. There are approximately 600 staff in Domestic Services and 1 staff have completed the BICs training programme to date. 4.0 GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS 4.1 Managerial Accountability The Director of Acute Services is the designated Executive Director with lead responsibility for Environmental Cleanliness. On a day to day operational basis, three Locality Support Services Managers manage the delivery of domestic services and the achievement and maintenance of environmental cleanliness standards in conjunction with ward managers, and heads of departments, facilities and homes. These Locality Support Services Managers are accountable to the Assistant Director of Acute Services, Functional Support Services. 3

4 4.2 Trust Environmental Cleanliness Committee The Trust Environmental Cleanliness Committee ensures that a high level of environmental cleanliness is achieved and maintained throughout the Trust. The Committee meets on a quarterly basis and it is chaired by the Assistant Director of Acute Services, Functional Support Services. The Committee includes representatives from support services, infection control, estates, nursing, social services and a service user representative from the Southern Health and Social Services Council. The Trust has sought clarification from the Patient and Client Council regarding service user involvement following the cessation of the Southern Health and Social Services Council. 4.3 Trust Environmental Cleanliness Policy The Trust Environmental Cleanliness Policy was approved by Trust Board on 26 th February The policy was reviewed in January 2009 and no revisions were made. 5.0 MONITORING AND AUDIT ARRANGEMENTS The regional strategy requires the Trust to perform audits to monitor cleanliness standards within the National Standards of Cleanliness (updated by the National Specifications for Cleanliness). As part of the regional strategy, the DHSSPS issued a toolkit, which provided all HSS Trust facilities with a standardised methodology for assessing the standard of cleanliness. This toolkit which contains 49 elements is used by Trusts to undertake internal departmental and managerial audits. The National Specifications for Cleanliness have been reviewed and revised to take account of changes occurring since the issue of Towards Cleaner Hospitals and Lower Rates of Infection, A Matron s Charter, The Healthcare Commission s Standards for Better Health and the Code of Practice for the Prevention and Control of Healthcare Associated Infections (introduced under the Health Act 2006). The Trust proposes to update its auditing tool to reflect the revised National Specifications during 2009/ Internal Audit Arrangements Departmental Audits The departmental audit process has been standardised in all hospitals across the Trust and departmental audit results for hospitals are submitted to Performance and Reform Dept on a monthly basis and incorporated in the Trust Board 4

5 Performance Report. The departmental audit process for community facilities has been agreed and work to roll this out to all community facilities will continue during 2009/10. Departmental Audits have been undertaken in all hospitals and a number of community facilities throughout the Trust during 2008/09. These are normally undertaken by a domestic supervisor and a ward/department/facility manager. The frequency of audit is dependant on the risk categorisation of the area in question. Departmental Audits Functional Frequency Examples of areas Rating Very High Weekly Theatres, Day Surgery, ICU High ly A&E, In-patient Wards, CSSD Moderate Three monthly Out-patients, General Pharmacy, Residential Accommodation, common public areas Low Six monthly Non-sterile supply areas, plant rooms, record storage The overall departmental audit scores for each of the hospitals is shown below: Hospital April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Av St Luke's South Tyrone Longstone Mullinure CAH Lurgan DHH Bluestone Average The scores reflect the overall weighted score for each hospital taking into account all risk categories ie very high, high, moderate and low risk category areas. % or above 5
