The slimy Limey should clean up his own patch, methinks.
710,000 patients a year infected on dirty NHS wards
One in ten patients in NHS hospitals picks up a potentially deadly infection during their stay, a damning survey reveals today.
A staggering 710,000 patients a year develop symptoms during their stay or shortly afterwards.
Much of the spread can be put down to staff failing to wash their hands enough, while grubby wards, bathrooms and waiting areas increase the risk.
Other factors are a lack of staff training in basic hygiene and shortages of washbasins in old hospital buildings.
Many of the victims are infected by MRSA, the drug-resistant so-called superbug which causes the deaths of up to 5,000 people a year. Elderly and vulnerable patients, such as cancer sufferers, are most at risk.
