Dr Paul Grime, BMA's Chair of the Occupational Health Committee, said:
"Today's figures (6/2/06) show that the problem of MRSA in our hospitals is not going to go away quickly. We need long-term policy and sustained investment to make the problem of MRSA a thing of the past.
"Specialist teams to help those hospitals with the worst MRSA rates will be a welcome intervention - as long as they engage properly with the whole hospital. Doctors, patients, managers, cleaners, administrators and hospital visitors can all play a part in the problem, and must all play a part in the solution."
