Patient survey finds NHS hospitals improving infection control

A survey of more than 70,000 inpatients across England conducted by the Care Quality Commission found significant improvement in infection control when compared to a similar survey done in 2008. Patients said wards and bathrooms were very clean and more noticed doctors and nurses washing their hands between patients, the survey found. One in 10 patients, however, said they were not involved as much as they wanted to be in decisions about their care.
