REPORT Acting Executive Manager Community Development - 5 August 1997

THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO COUNCIL

The motion was put and declared CARRIED.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COMMITTEE
1. That the Building Operations Section investigate the feasibility and cost of providing separate hand washing and instrument cleaning basins in the podiatry treatment rooms.
2. That the possibility of enclosing shelf areas also be investigated.
REPORT PURPOSE
To inform Council of Infection Control Guidelines that have been issued by the Podiatrist's Registration Board and the implications for the City's clinics.
BACKGROUND
The Podiatrist's Registration Board has recently produced a publication outlining Infection Control Guidelines.
Podiatrists and organisations, not adhering to proper procedures to ensure sterile technique, run the risk of litigation should infections occur in patients.
The City of Stirling clinics do not meet requirements in all respects. Significant areas of concern are the need to have two basins - one for hand washing and one for instrument cleaning. Open shelving is also considered a hazard as are any trolleys/surfaces which are difficult to clean.
The Manager Community Services is currently investigating the purchase of stainless steel trolleys. It is recommended that the Building Operations Section investigate the possibility of installing additional basins and enclosing shelves.
At 3.05pm the Manager Community Services left the meeting after consideration of Item CS1.
