Update to Chapter 1, 1.9 - Safe Disposal of Waste

10 Jan 2018

An update has been made to section 1.9 of the NIPCM to ensure that it follows SHTN 3.

Under the section 'Safe waste disposal at care area level' the reference to liquid waste has been changed to 'placing in an orange lidded leak-proof bin' instead of 'placing in a healthcare waste bag'.
