abstract: Progress in reducing rates of MRSA and healthcare-acquired infections is being put at risk by the lack of a centrally funded campaign promoting hand hygiene, according to patient champion Ashley Brooks. However, healthcare professionals emphasise the need for a multifactorial approach to infection control and the Department of Health denies momentum is being lost.
