Well done the Royal Sussex County Hospital. I have just spent a week in the very ward, Peel, which was the subject of the infamous BBC Panorama programme on hospital cleaning.

I want to assure the people of Sussex this ward was spotlessly clean. It was vacuumed, swept and dusted thoroughly each day.

That was topped only by the quality of nursing and medical care. All in all, I came away knowing our hospital is soon going to climb those Department of Health classifications - if they're worth anything at all.
