THERE is a shortage of cleaning materials in the Rehabilitation Unit, at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon.
The hospital will not supply soap, razors, hair shampoo or sufficient incontinence pads, for patients in the Rehabilitation Unit.
The reasoning behind the hospital’s policy, is that these cleaning materials should be supplied by the family.
This policy is causing real hardship for patients, especially the shortage of incontinence pads for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
