MRSA role could land hospitals in court

HOSPITALS could face criminal proceedings for failing to protect patients from MRSA as anti-“superbug” activists step up their campaign with an international fact-finding mission.

This week the MRSA and Families Network will travel to Cardiff to assess the work of Dr Ian Hosein, who is credited with cutting hospital-acquired infections in Wales by 60%.

The network’s sortie is running parallel with a complaint it has made against Waterford Regional Hospital under 60-year-old health legislation.
