All that is needed is for one person to be put in charge of each accident and emergency...

Joe Costello: ...hygiene standards for all staff and overhaul the system of contract cleaners, who clean the hospitals at certain times of the day rather than according to need, thus cutting the appalling level of MRSA to which vulnerable patients are prone.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...visiting? This is creating tremendous distress for patients, particularly long-stay patients and older and very young patients.
