Healthcare-Acquired Infections

EDM number 1707 in 2008-09, proposed by Nigel Evans on 18/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House recognises the significant challenge of healthcare-acquired infections on service delivery, patient safety and well-being and public confidence; welcomes the British Medical Association's report on reducing healthcare-acquired infections; expresses concern that short-term targets have replaced sustainable, evidence-based strategies for dealing with these infections; notes the impact of overcrowding and understaffing on infection-control practices; calls on the Government to produce long-term policies that tackle patient throughput and high bed occupancy; and further calls for adequate resources for thorough everyday cleaning.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
