"blood left in toilets and no care"

About: Doncaster Royal Infirmary

. - cleanliness poor. Blood left in the toilets for over 12 hours even though I reported that I had seen it. I also witnessed a nurse ask the cleaner to clean it up obviously this did not happen. On the next day when I was taken to a and e again the blood was still there. I watched the cleaner cleaning around and in the toilet but still did not clean the blood up. I reported it once again hopefully it has gone. My question us who is supervising these cleaners? Not once did I see anyone use gel. I went to get some on my way out and it was empty. Surprise surprise still empty the day later. No wonder bugs are rife. The nurses do a fabulous job and are stretched to breaking. Doctors on both occasions I found very unconcerned and just wanted me out of there and back to my gp Even though I went in with an ECG reading of between 180 and 207. The second day with the signs of a mini stroke but still not bothered in the slightest. My own doctor is quite shocked that they would release me so quickly. In a nutshell nurses fab cleanliness very dire and doctors couldn't give a monkeys.
