LINEN SERVICES CARDIFF

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown)—The workers at the Cardiff facility of Linen Services are among the many unsung heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic. These workers, along with their colleagues around the safe, supply clinically safe linen to New South Wales hospitals—without this supply, without Linen Services ensuring that the correct type and quantity of linen is available, basic patient care would be nearly impossible. I toured the Cardiff facility recently, and the dedication and hard work of the workers is evident. Their commitment ensures that every item of linen meets strict quality standards and arrives in hospital wards and surgical theatres on time and as ordered. Without them, our hospitals would stop functioning—and the course of the COVID-19 pandemic might well have been different. Like many who work in our healthcare industry, their work is vital but rarely acknowledged. These workers, at Cardiff and around the state, deserve our recognition, our thanks and most of all our support.
