ALMOST one in 10 patients picks up infections in Scots hospitals.
The figure is higher than anywhere else in the UK.
In one Glasgow hospital, the rate is almost one in five.
A report yesterday showed the infections kill more than 500 patients a year and cost the NHS £183million.
Unions blamed dirty wards, claiming hospitals are grubbier now than they were 30 years ago. Health secretary Nicola Sturgeon pledged to take action.
She said: "It is simply not good enough."
