PREVENTING the spread of infection is high on the list of priorities in the refurbishment of Caterham Dene Hospital.
The £454,000 revamp which, started on Monday, was designed with infection control in mind.
Materials have been specially chosen to help prevent infections, such as MRSA, spreading at the hospital in Church Road.
In March the Mirror reported the hospital had been criticised in a patients’ group report for the state of some of its facilities.
East Surrey Patient and Public Involvement Forum pointed to mouldy, dirty walls, unfixed toilets and only one cleaner for the ward and physiotherapy area.
