So,
the spectre of the superbug is with us again.
I was talking to a bloke on Saturday. He who works for a company that makes a product that, they claim, can disinfect a hospital room to kill the MRSA bug. Basically, it squirts out
hydrogen peroxide vapour and then sucks it all in again, with the dead germs.
This chap told me that the machine does a room at a time and costs about £30k. But there is a cheaper version available.
Obviously this chap had an agenda but there is evidence to back up his claims. I understand that all BUPA hospitals use this technology and they’ve had no outbreaks of MRSA. £30k is, in the grand scheme of all things NHS, peanuts.
But perhaps dead patients don’t show up on a balance sheet.
