"Admitted to CDU (Clinical Decision Unit) after..."

About: Scunthorpe General Hospital

The staff in A+E were amazing they were extremely busy and still were caring and proffessional, and until just before I left CDU I was satisfied with my treatment there.

I was in a single room with its own toilet and when I went to use the toilet I was shocked to find that it had not been cleaned, there was dried blood on the floor down the front inside of the pan and sanitary wear not flushed.

When I went to the nures station to report this and ask if there was another toilet I was pointed in the direction of the ward opposite this toilet was also filthy with excrement all over the rimm of the pan, i asked if there was another toilet this again was filled with something to large to be flushed by look of it.

When I went back to the nurses station and told the registrar and ask if there was another toilet I was pointed in another direction to another toilet.

Not one person came to apologise or look it was only when a nurse came to remove my canular and I told them that they apologised after looking themself and putting a sign saying please clean on the door.

I was really appaulled with the lack of cleanliness my coat which was on the armchair in the room was covered in dust when I left to be honest I could not wait to leave and left with out my discharge letter and asked for it to be posted.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about this experience. All toilets are cleaned twice daily, with interval checks in-between, and we are putting steps in place to prevent this particular problem recurring in CDU. Kind regards, Sarah Mainprize
