NHS nurses told to dispose of clinical waste in patients' own dustbins District nurses are being told to dispose of bandages and other clinical waste in patients’ own dustbins in the wake of the NHS body parts scandal.
A memo sent to carers tells them to use “sandwich bags and bin liners” to wrap up dressings, gloves, aprons and other clinical waste.
The nurses are specifically told not to use yellow or orange clinical waste bags, which cannot be taken away with household waste.
Bodily fluids, including blood, are to be flushed down a patient’s lavatory “for a temporary period” in what is described as “an alternative disposal process”. The Daily Telegraph
