Milan.
I have an NHS background and that's one of the reasons why I don't like NL. But people have forgotten how terrible the NHS was under the Tories. Short memories etc.
Management also have to take some responsibility here. As a manager, I cannot abide sloppy working and poor standards...but that seems a dying attitude nowadays.
You're right, but the line management is to a supervisor and then to a manager in the contract cleaning firm, and their driver is commercial. The NHS trust's leverage is through the SLA, and these are written with the 'cheapest bid wins' rule in mind. If you need something cleaned now, the easiest way to deal with it is to directly manage the cleaning staff, but it's a little more expensive. You get what you pay for.

But supervisory roles also carry responsibility...if the supervisor cannot manage their staff, then get a new one....it is also the managers responsibility to ensure that he manages the supervisor accordingly....

Er, yeah, like Old Greg said: the staff have a duty to the supervisor, the supervisor has a duty to the manager, the manager has a duty to the company.
