My nearest hossy. No thanks. sick2:
A hospital was hit with a Clostridium difficile outbreak just days after it completed a "deep clean", it has emerged.
The Countess of Chester Hospital closed a surgical ward last Thursday when 26 people fell ill with the stomach bug.
The hospital had spent £300,000 on the deep clean, which was completed on Monday, 24 March.
The Countess of Chester NHS Trust insisted the deep clean was successful, saying the outbreak was caused by unusually high numbers of patients bringing C diff into the hospital.
WTF is DEEP cleaning anyway? Cellars where they keep all the 'bits'?

They carry out there processes across Europe, but don't seen able to make great in-roads in the UK. I assume money must be a factor ::)

Another colleague lost his wife to MRSA in hospital last year. How long before we all know somebody who has died because of an infection caught in hospital? When people use to say "oh, he's in hospital", we use to say, "well, he's in the right place" ... not so anymore
