The trust which runs Buckland Hospital is 10th in the country when it comes to calling in pest controllers.

East Kent University NHS Trust called in experts to get rid of vermin and insects 416 times between January, 2006, and April, 2008.

The trust manages five hospitals in Canterbury, Ashford, Thanet, Folkestone and Dover.

The figures were revealed in a Freedom of Information request by the Conservative party.

A spokesperson for the trust said the figures were steadily going down and a lot of the visits were return visits.
