title: Infection control. A bug's life.
abstract: Everybody agrees that infection control is a serious problem and that something needs to be done about it, but nobody can agree exactly what. In this week's special report, we look at NHS plans to improve the worst MRSA record in Europe. Our Good Management special focuses on improved understanding of how to deal with clinical wastes. Plus John Williams comes to the defence of the private cleaning contractors blamed for the spread of MRSA.
