Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

I agree that the issue causes huge confusion. That is why I was at pains to stress that we need to be clear about what we say and maintain a sense of perspective. However, I fear that the Minister fell into the common trap of confusing health care-acquired infections with MRSA. When I spoke briefly earlier, I saw a look of consternation on the Minister’s face and I thought that she might be confusing the two. The figure of 5,000 that I cited related to the former, not the latter.
