Proceeding contribution from Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].


Health Bill [HL]

I support Amendments 34A and 37A. Only yesterday, I read in the Yorkshire Post that Leeds hospitals have been fined many millions of pounds because they have serious infections of MRSA and C. difficile. Also, no one knows better than the noble Lord, Lord Darzi, that safety in operating theatres is vital. I cannot imagine that he cannot include safety. Hospitals have become dangerous places. They should be as safe as possible. This definitely needs to be emphasised.
