Couldn't find a previous thread, so have started a new one.

What does everyone thin of todays news?

What I can't understand is that every week there's 'news' about the MRSA problem in hospitals - this morning (Today) - someone was going on about reducing the numbers of people being treated as a means of reducing the number of people catching MRSA and 5000 a year dying! Another means of stopping the spread could be to prevent patients being moved around wards and hospitals!

But never do they mention that there is a method of controling the bug. HCEG does have a contract or 2 with the NHS but the government seem very slow to increase the number of hospitals using Ebiox.

They other week I read that the government wanted to plough more money into research to combat MRSA, in the same report they stated that fewer cases were reported in private hosiptals surely the cleaning of equipment and surfaces plays a major part in the reduction of this bug does the government not know about Ebiox exsistance. I wonder how sucessful Ebiox vet is I hope they are getting a full order book.

My Brother works for Newham Ambulance Service and he is discussed that the private company he works for will not pay out for much they use an anti-bactial cleaner to clean the ambulance interior not Ebiox.

The health service is more for making money than looking after peoples welfare, so if Ebiox is more expensive to buy than other products they may have trouble selling it.

I feel its probably the way cleaning contracts are set up in the NHS. Cheap and cheerful..mmmmm ok cheap anyway.

Cheap, cheerful and can be deadly.

The state of the NHS has been all over our TV lately and most of yesterdays trades were Buys. Am I right in saying HCEG product to kill bugs would fix the NHS issue?
