Change made to Chapter 1.7 - Management of linen

25 Apr 2018

A change has been made to Chapter 1.7.

In the section Clean Linen the third bullet point has been removed.
'Clean linen that is deemed unfit for re-use e.g badly torn, should be disposed of locally or returned to the laundry for disposal'

A new line has been added at the end of Chapter 1.7
'All linen that is deemed unfit for re-use e.g torn or heavily contaminated, should be categorised at the point of use and returned to the laundry for disposal.'
