Government is fighting MRSA in the dark12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 13th Oct 2004 Responding to today's report by the MRSA Support Group, which claims that the number of people killed by MRSA in England is four times higher than the official nationwide figure, Paul Burstow MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, said: "No one knows how many people are dying from hospital infections in the NHS every year. "When it comes to fighting MRSA, this Government is working in the dark. It neither has any idea of the true level of MRSA, nor has it actively sought to find out. "Labour has a poor record on tackling hospital infections. A succession of announcements, stunts and gimmicks has failed to reverse the rising tide of infections. Ministers are guilty of talking tough about this problem, but willfully failing to take the necessary steps to wipe it out."
