Why is my ward filthy...?

As a Dr watching hospitals and GP surgeries getting muckier and muckier over the years, it has become quite clear why this should be so
First, Nurses, and Nursing auxilliaries no longer do it, and thus it's contract cleaners. They ain't scared of a dressing down from matron, in fact they don't seem to be scared of anyone.....
Second and more important, it's all about health and bloody safety. Cleaners ain't given anything that actually cleans.
Bleach, carbolic, stuff that moves grime.? er no, because that's a bit abrasive and might harm skin
Of course it harms skin, that's why it cleans things !!
Now we get some sort of biological crap that doesn't move anything.
It won't be long before we need to use cold water in case someone scalds themselves
Of course the real answer is to get Drs to wear short sleeves, no ties and no watches...
In which case why were hospitals not full of infections ten years ago ?
Hello Mr Superbug, I can't say it's a surprise to meet you
