Tories should apologise for record on MRSA - Burstow

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Tue 26th Apr 2005

Responding to the Conservative Party's press conference on MRSA, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Paul Burstow said:

"What the Conservatives really need to say is sorry. Sorry that they failed to bring back matron while they were in office. Sorry that MRSA rates rocketed in the nineties, and that they failed to collect proper information on hospital infections.

"Instead of offering a real alternative for the NHS, the Conservatives have spent the campaign running the NHS and its staff down."
