Body parts allowed to pile up by NHS-contracted waste firm

[Guest]

Human body parts are among hundreds of tonnes of medical waste being stockpiled by a disposal company, it has emerged.

Healthcare Environment Services Ltd have made numerous breaches of its permits across five sites in England which deal with clinical waste and a criminal investigation has been instigated, the Environmental Agency confirmed.

Amputated limbs and pharmaceutical waste were among the items piled up, according to the Health Service Journal (HSJ).

A Cobra meeting was chaired by Matt Hancock last month over the issue, the HSJ reported.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said there is "absolutely no risk" to public health.

The company stored the items securely but failed to comply with correct regulatory timeframes for disposal.

Doubt it. They've gone bust and under police investigation for fraud. 500 jobs 'at risk'.

More than 500 jobs I think 3aaa is responsible for the training of around 4,000 apprentices and a lot of those are with small businesses and I think about half of them are funded through the apprenticeship levy.
