I found the Covid precautionary protocols at Eastern Health lacking.
I went for a test at Box Hill and I went through a full check in process that was thorough, then when I got to my consult suite, there was a manky paper towel on the bed. I asked if it had been used and the staff member said yes, and asked if that was a problem - I said yes it was – then they told me I could change it and a towel was down there. The staff member said the cleaner is meant to do it but they are injured. On the wall, I recall there was a sign instructing staff to change paper after every patient.
Seemingly no cleaners, I feel the sector is clearly under stress and slipping on some key controls that I believe the private sector would be castigated for.
