Very sad to hear on BBC website about the 90 ward bug deaths.

A coincidence that just a week or so ago I reported on the threat to cleanliness in NHS hospitals: “Had a nice chat with someone very knowledgable about global healthcare and the NHS recently who suggested the NHS was going to ‘hell in a handbasket’ or whatever the correct phrase is. PS: If you do get sick the Netherlands is the safest place, talking hospital cleaniness so I’m told.” I can’t give away my source, but suffice to say he obviously knew what he was talking about (and I’m taking note).
