title: Tap upgrade wins praise all round.
abstract: An ongoing upgrading of clinical handwashing facilities at its hospitals by NHS Lanarkshire is seeing the Scottish Health Board replace, in many cases, ageing basins and taps subject to Healthcare Environment Inspectorate (HEI) criticism, with standardised modules comprising a clinical basin, Horne Engineering's Optitherm thermostatic tap, and soap and towel dispensers, all mounted on a single integrated panel structure. As Home's marketing manager, Hannah Berry, explains, one of the many benefits is that the Board's Estates Department no longer needs a large "arsenal" of spare parts in stock for different fittings.
