Earlier this month it emerged waste from hospitals had not been disposed of "in a timely fashion" by contractor Healthcare Environmental Services.

One of the disposal sites is in Normanton in West Yorkshire.

Garry Pettigrew, managing director of Healthcare Environmental Services, says his company had been "vilified for providing an excellent service."

It added the site in Normanton had reached its capacity for the amount of waste it had, and the company has been working hard to reduce the amount of waste there.
