Mr Milburn said the modern-day matrons were an attempt to drive up standards in hospitals and prevent hospital infections, by ensuring hygiene standards are met on the ward. Matrons will earn up to £31,000 a year and will have powers over budgets, catering and cleaning as well as being in charge of nurses. They will also have the powers to withhold payments from catering and cleaning services if they don't think they are giving the best service to the NHS.
