Managers at Swindon's Great Western Hospital say Carillion's cldanliness | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
and food hygiene standards have been completely unacceptable. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Good, wholesome food like this is at the heart of a patient?s recovery. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
But when Environmental Health visited Great Western Hospital | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
earlier this year they gave the food just one star for hygiene. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
And the Care Quality Commission found dirty toilets and wards | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
which one inspector describdd as absolutely disgusting. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
The trust say it's a risk to patients. | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
And in cleaning standard or any other kind of pig care we provide | :00:52. | :00:58. | |

There are wards which were previous queen by four people which `re now | :02:04. | :02:04. | |

My ideal is to park up on the village green, reads childrdn's | :05:15. | :05:28. | |

love of books and a passion for physical books for those chhldren | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
for the rest of their lives. We have a story every night. We havd books | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
which we read when they comd home from school. I wish they cotld | :05:41. | :05:44. | |

Sarah Farmer's next with the weather. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |

With that cloud coverage coles the risk of showers of light rain | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
or drizzle, which could be `round first thing tomorrow morning. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Quite a bit of cloud to start the day on Friday, but it whll | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
