Human remains and medical waste piling up at NHS trusts as troubled supplier stops collections, government says | The Independent

Human remains and medical waste are building up at numerous NHS trusts in England after contractor Healthcare Environmental Services stopped collections. The company had been stockpiling hundreds of tonnes of waste, including human body parts. Despite cancelling their contracts, the company has still failed to collect waste from 24 other trusts upon which a major incident has been declared. The government has enacted contingency measures as neither assurance nor collections have been provided by the company.
