1. There is no standard definition of services or list of services within the NHS and those listed above relate to Provider Units' interpretation.2. Service headings such as "Hotel Services" and "Facilities Management" include a wide and varying range of individual services e.g. catering, portering, security car parking. Again there is no set pattern of which service make up Hotel Services etc., but relates to individual Provider Units' interpretation.1 CSSD = Central Sterile Supply Department, HSDU = Hospital Sterilizing and Disinfecting Unit, IVF = In-Vitro Fertilisation.
