Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on NHS Resources.


NHS Resources

The hon. Gentleman has immediately touched on an important area where there is a possibility of saving money—managing health care acquired infections. The Government’s policy of dealing with them when they arise is extremely costly. Would it not be better if they changed their policy to focus on prevention by providing each patient with an individual kit to stop the spread of infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and clostridium difficile?
