Proceeding contribution from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 November 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Health Care-Associated Infections.


Health Care-Associated Infections

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that. The then Health Minister, the hon. Member for Orpington (Mr. Horam), said"““Official figures…show that the peak of the problem occurred in 1986.””—[Official Report, 19 March 1997; Vol. 292, c. 859.]" Yes, we may be entitled to some criticism, but we all have problems and difficulties in relation to the issue. At least we have come to the Chamber and said that there is a problem, and we are facing up to it. That was not the case with the Conservative party.
