EAST Surrey Hospital has scored 100 per cent for cleanliness in a recent assessment, prompting Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to tweet staff a note of congratulation.
East Surrey scored better than ten neighbouring hospitals in the check-up by a patient-led group.
The latest patient-led assessments of the care environment (PLACE) results gave the hospital the score of 100 per cent, up from 97.20 per cent last year.
When the score was announced last Wednesday, Mr Hunt sent a tweet to Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, to congratulate staff.
Ian Mackenzie, director of information and facilities at the hospital, said: "We take great pride in the cleanliness of our hospital, and many visitors often comment on what a good job our housekeeping team do.
"This assessment looked at the whole environment and we are pleased our hard work has been recognised."
The trust also saw an improvement in its scores for food and hydration, and condition, appearance and maintenance of patient areas.
