What is the advantage of paying companies €38 million for cleaning compared with the old days when the HSE employed domestic staff to do it? In the old days there was no MRSA, and there were matrons going around with white gloves checking whether everything was clean. There was not as much MRSA and talk about hospital bugs as now. I accept that things have changed.
