Bioman , i also have been in the nhs ten years and are amazzed how the routine scrubbing and ward closures no longer appear to happen as they used to. I understand it will not stop MRSA , but it would not make it or any problem worse (apart from cash flow).
Why are our hospitals not designed en-suite like mainland europe. Is it any wonder we have one of the highest rates in europe. If you've ever been unfortunate enough to be admitted into hospital im sure you know what i mean.
MRSA is not the only transmitted illness curently on the rise. The old war-time favorite of scabbies is coming back, as i found out recently, it is very common in elderly medicine and not particulary pleasant.
