Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 October 2007. It occurred during Urgent question on Clostridium Difficile.


Clostridium Difficile

We must not be sidetracked in this debate by the question of whether cleaning is done in-house or out of house. This is a failure in leadership of monstrous proportions. This chief executive was either a monster or an incompetent—probably an incompetent. A number of chief executives in this country are not performing, and when they do not perform people die. I urge the Secretary of State to intervene where chief executives are failing, before more people needlessly die from preventable illnesses.
