The key objectives are to provide each establishment with a variable number of sheets and pillow cases on a weekly basis to meet the challenging needs of the service. The linen supplied should be fit for purpose, capable of being washed at sufficiently high temperature to ensure disinfection takes place, should look visibly clean, should be the right material and should not be damaged or discoloured.
