Proceeding contribution from Shona McIsaac (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
Given the time pressure, I will not. In this country strains 15 and 16 are the most prevalent, and those strains are the most resistant of all—far more resistant than the ones prevalent in the Netherlands and Denmark. Those are the strains most prevalent in Japan, too, for example, and no one who has been to Japan and seen hospitals there would say that they had problems with their cleaning regimes and hygiene. As we are talking about such a serious issue, we have to keep in mind the science that underlies the subject.
