Business of the House (14 Mar 2024)

Penny Mordaunt: ...was running at 45%, and there were 400,000 more children and 200,000 more pensioners in absolute poverty than there are today. In my constituency, my hospital was in the top five for those with MRSA infections. We had crumbling school buildings. The Labour party’s Building Schools for the Future programme had not done any work, and secondary schools were excluded from it— I could go...

Business of the House ( 7 Sep 2023)

Penny Mordaunt: We have many fabulous hospitals. When I came into this House in 2010, my local hospital was the worst in the country for MRSA and clostridium difficile infections, but it is now a fantastic hospital. Health outcomes have improved there, despite all the stresses of the pandemic, and we have a new accident and emergency department being built, which will open next year. That is the story of...

NHS Workforce Expansion (28 Feb 2023)

Maria Caulfield: ...incredible staff for patients in this country. Anyone listening to Opposition Members would think that life under the previous Labour Government was a health panacea. When we came into government, MRSA was rife across the NHS, with wards and hospitals closed, operations cancelled and patients dying from infection. Clostridium difficile was the same—in 2008, there were 8,300 deaths. Deep...

Business of the House ( 2 Feb 2023)

Penny Mordaunt: ...comes to getting people into employment, doubling their personal tax allowance thresholds, the new schools that we have built, the vast improvements to the local hospital—it had one of the worst MRSA records in the country—or the maladministration of pension credit and tax credit, every index, including the recent Bloomberg index on levelling up, says that my constituency is doing very...

Business of the House (19 Jan 2023)

Penny Mordaunt: ...covid—and, let us be fair, after 10 years of a Labour Government—they were 578,682. Would the hon. Lady like me to go on to talk about Labour’s treatment of junior doctors, or the scandal of MRSA or C. diff infections in our hospitals, or the lunacy of private finance initiative schemes which saw us paying £300 to change a lightbulb, or the treatment centres that had machines that...

Antimicrobial Resistance: Farm Animals (18 Jan 2023)

Virendra Sharma: ..., and vancomycin—I am sure that the Minister will agree I am not a scientist, nor in the medical profession, so my pronunciation may be different but the meaning is right—which is used to treat MRSA. It is alarming that both are classified by the World Health Organisation as the highest priority, critically important antimicrobials in human medicine yet far too little is being done to...

Written Answers — Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Drinking Water: E. coli and MRSA (17 Jan 2023)

Ian Byrne: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he plans to take to take to ensure drinking water is not contaminated by antibiotic-resistant strains of E. coli and staphylococcus aureus.

Business of the House ( 8 Dec 2022)

Penny Mordaunt: ...follow it up. The hon. Lady mentions health and my constituency in particular. I have to tell her that in 2010, when I came into Parliament, my hospital was falling to bits and we had the worst MRSA rates in the country. Those things are vastly improved. We do not have to speculate as to what a Labour Government would do for the NHS; we have only to look at Wales to see that in action. One...

Papers Relating to the Home Secretary ( 8 Nov 2022)

Yvette Cooper: ...failing to follow basic public health rules and requirements. To be honest, it was an incident that the Home Office again does not seem to have learned from, as we have had outbreaks of diphtheria, MRSA and scabies at Manston. Frankly, if the Home Office and the Government want to solve this properly, they need to address the total collapse in decision making, with just 14,000 decisions...

Western Jet Foil and Manston Asylum Processing Centres (31 Oct 2022)

Yvette Cooper: ..., with some families there for weeks. Conditions there have been described as inhumane, with risks of fire, disorder and infection, there are confirmed diphtheria outbreaks, reports of scabies and MRSA outbreaks, outbreaks of violence and untrained staff. The Home Secretary said nothing about what she was doing to address those immediate public health crises or the issues of untrained...

Scottish Parliament: Antimicrobial Resistance (21 Apr 2022)

Jackie Baillie: ...leads to longer hospital stays, the NHS will be faced with higher medical costs and increased mortality, so it is right for us to co-operate across the UK and globally to deal with that. When the MRSA crisis posed a similar threat more than a decade ago, Scottish Labour took action, which was then followed up by the SNP. We established a system of national mandatory surveillance of MRSA,...

Vaccination: Condition of Deployment - Statement ( 3 Feb 2022)

Baroness Finlay of Llandaff: ...to another; there have been thousands and thousands of cases where patients have acquired a nosocomial infection in hospital. One of the most important measures—particularly for something like MRSA—has been handwashing in between treating every patient. Any let-up in these procedures could well mean that we would slip back to the bad old days of multiple wound infections on surgical wards.

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Kidney Diseases: Dialysis Machines (11 Nov 2021)

Edward Argar: ...out mandatory enhanced surveillance of infections in adult haemodialysis patients for National Health Service acute Trusts in England, including for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia; Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteraemia; Clostridium difficile; and Escherichia coli bacteraemia.

Northern Ireland Assembly: Questions for Urgent Oral Answer — Health: COVID-19: Outbreak in Daisy Hill Hospital (21 Sep 2020)

Alan Chambers: ...place of safety and recovery, and we probably do not expect our loved ones to come into contact with something like COVID in that setting. However, hospitals suffer infections from time to time — MRSA and gastric infections spring to mind — and it does not necessarily represent negligence on the part of anyone. Does the Minister agree that It is impossible to completely exclude...

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Hospitals: Infectious Diseases (10 Mar 2020)

Lord Bethell: ...,000. Public Health England is developing robust methodologies that will enable greater certainty in estimates of the numbers and costs of HCAIs. While there have been year-on-year reductions in MRSA and C. difficile; E. coli, MSSA, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas infections have increased. From April 2020, the NHS will introduce an annual national reduction target for these bloodstream...

Scottish Parliament: National Health Service (19 Feb 2020)

Emma Harper: ...that their GP surgery provided as “good” or “excellent”. In addition to the positive patient feedback, over the past five years there has been a decreasing year-on-year trend in rates of MRSA and C diff infection, which demonstrates that the Scottish patient safety programme is working to protect patients. As a result of that programme, we have some of the lowest rates of...

NHS Funding Bill (27 Jan 2020)

Jeremy Hunt: ...losing huge sums. The reason for that, as every doctor or nurse in the NHS knows, is that poor care is usually the most expensive type of care to deliver. A patient who acquires a bedsore or an MRSA or C. diff infection, or has a fall that could have been avoided, will stay in hospital longer, which will cost more. It will cost the hospital more, it will cost the NHS more, and finances...

Health and Social Care (16 Jan 2020)

Marion Fellows: ...by their GP surgery as good or excellent. Scotland’s patient safety record is among the best in the world. Over the past five years there has been a decreasing year-on-year trend in the rate of MRSA and C. diff infection. Scotland led the UK by introducing a mental health waiting times target. In the Scottish Government’s 2019-20 programme, the budget for mental health increased by...

Edward Argar: ...infections. The draft contract is out for consultation until 31 January 2020. The NHS Standard Contract will continue to include targets for both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (CDI). The zero-tolerance approach for MRSA bacteraemia will continue, and all acute providers submit monthly data on all positive MRSA bacteraemia specimens. CDI...
