St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group Limited - Annual Review 2007 St. Vincent's Private Hospital Laundry Service As part of improving the hygiene services throughout the Hospital there are now smaller trolleys in use to deliver linen to and from the ward areas. The linen contractor now washes the new trolleys each day. Household service staff in conjunction with infection control visited the linen company and reviewed the procedures in place. The linen delivery time has also been changed to 7.30am to facilitate congestion in the back yard delivery area. New scrub suits were rolled out to the required clinical areas in June.
