Proceeding contribution from Norman Lamb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 November 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Health Care-Associated Infections.


Health Care-Associated Infections

The Secretary of State has rightly described the two main hospital acquired infections, but there have been recent newspapers reports about pseudomonas and the suggestion of a 41 per cent. increase over the past four years. Although levels are still low, reporting is currently not mandatory. Is the Secretary of State concerned about that increase and does he think that there needs to be a change to mandatory reporting?
