Royal's shock vermin figures
Pamela Welsh7/ 8/2008
HOSPITAL chiefs have defended their record after new figures revealed hundreds of instances of pest infestations at Salford Royal Hospital in a two year period.
Figures released by the Conservative Party under Freedom of Information laws showed that pest control teams were called to the hospital, in Stott Lane, 240 times between January 2006 and April 2008.
The report shows a range of infestations, from rats and mice and cockroaches to squirrels, pigeons and bedbugs.

The Health Trusts are calling out the Pest Control officers more frequently in order to work at reducing infestations ...... which will result in better conditions etc etc ..... BUT .... the way the Press chooses to report this makes it seem that all Hospital sites are overun with vermin !!!!
