Hospital equipment 'tainted with blood'
Scottish Daily Express
|March 14, 2025
INSPECTORS found equipment contaminated with blood and bodily fluids on a follow-up visit to a hospital.
They also found dust and mould in some areas at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, Fife, when they carried out the unannounced visit in December. Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) conducted the follow-up after an initial inspection from July 31 to August 2 last year raised significant concerns in relation to patient safety and hospital maintenance.
At the visit in December they found NHS Fife is undertaking ongoing improvement work but identified more areas for improvement.
