The redundancy plans have worried families who lost loved ones at the hospital 20 years ago.
At least 90 patients died at Maidstone Hospital between 2004 and 2006 in a C.difficile outbreak.
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a type of bacteria that can cause diarrhoea and can spread quickly in hospitals.
A report into the deaths cited a lack of cleanliness as a contributing factor to the outbreak.
One family member who’s mother-in-law died during the C.Diff outbreak, told the BBC that cleaners were “vital” to maintain safety standards and to make them redundant was “scandalous”.
