Shadow Secretary of State Andy Burnham MP recently made a special visit to Atherton based heating company DiscreteHeat to see the ThermaSkirt product and further understand its benefits to the Health Service.
Eliminating conventional radiators as the main remaining source of the spread of Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI’s) would offer considerable savings for the NHS and also provide a significant improvement in patient care. HCAI’s are estimated to cost the NHS an incredible £1 billion a year and the cost of correctly cleaning radiators in accordance with hospital guidelines adds another £500 million to the bill. ThermaSkirt replaces the skirting boards and radiators in one to provide an energy efficient radiant panel that is simply wiped clean when the floor is mopped, saving on cleaning costs as well as eliminating the super bugs from the hospital that harbour in conventional radiators.
Andy Burnham said:
"ThermaSkirt is a well-designed, locally made product that could bring significant benefits for the NHS. I hope to help open doors for DiscreteHeat to achieve a greater awareness in the health service."
