DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The results presented in this pilot study show clearly that there is bacterial contamination of emergency vehicles within Wales, although this is generally reduced after vehicle cleaning. There seems to be some regional variation in the level of contamination of vehicles, and the ability to effectively eradicate contamination after cleaning of vehicles, perhaps demonstrating a lack of consistency in frequency and method of cleaning across the Trust. Most notably, vehicles in region A and area 1 of region B showed the best reduction in contamination after vehicle cleaning. Worryingly, however, vehicle cleaning in area 3 of region C resulted in an increase in the
number of vehicle sites contaminated with bacteria.
