Hospital deep cleaning

Let's get this straight.

People who think that the deep cleaning is a gimmick, at best:

The Lancet medical journal.

The cleaning contractors hired to do the deep clean.

People who think it is a good idea:

Gordon Brown - briefly an academic and then a journalist but, for most of his life, a full-time Labour politician.

Alan Johnson - moved into politics from a job at the postal union.

Sure enough, the deep cleans are going ahead at a cost of £50 million pounds that could be spent on the day-to-day cleaning that the contractors say would be more effective.  Another day in our politically managed public services.
