MRSA and Families highlighted what it regards as the inadequate response to the prevention, detection and treatment of MRSA in care institutions. The substantive question refers to a robust, uniform and national inspection system. Is it intended that the same visitation will address this matter in nursing homes or will it be dealt with independently? What steps have been taken to ensure a universal standard of hygiene in all of these institutions so that we can eradicate the scourge of MRSA as far as is humanly possible?
