Scots ambulance staff '˜too busy with call-outs to wash hands'
A growing number of hard-pressed ambulance staff are so busy with call-outs they aren't washing their hands properly, a new report suggests.
There are now concerns over the potential spread of infection after it emerged that hand hygiene standards among paramedics fell to a 12-month low last December.
Opposition parties are now warning that public confidence could be put at risk unless action is taken to address the issue.
