THE organiser of a national remembrance day for people who have died from MRSA has claimed hospitals are still failing to inform patients if they have been infected.

PEOPLE are now being warned by doctors that they should try to stay out of hospital if possible, because whatever they go in with, they could contract worse in inside.

PATIENTS must be told about the risk of acquiring the hospital super bug MRSA before consenting to surgery, a patients’ lobby group told a national conference on drug resistant infections yesterday.

GIVEN the burgeoning image of Ireland’s economy, it is alarming that people are dying because hospitals are dirty.

A CORK hospital has been accused of trying to cover up negligence by not allowing staff to be interviewed, following the death of man who contracted MRSA in its care.
