St Luke's Hospital in Rathgar recorded the lowest hand-washing compliance at 84.8%, while Naas General Hospital achieved the highest compliance rate of 98.9%.
Nurses and midwives demonstrated the best hand-washing practices with consistent compliance; conversely, doctors lagged behind and have not met the 90% target since summer 2018.
During the latest round of inspections, despite a rise in winter infections, overall hand-washing compliance varied widely, showcasing the ongoing challenges in hospital hygiene practices.
The inspections are critical as they reveal not just compliance rates but also highlight areas requiring attention, especially among different staff categories and hospital types.
