An interesting sidelight on why it is that MRSA kills thousands of people a year in NHS hospitals but none in those private hospitals run by BMI Healthcare:

"There is no financial imperative in the NHS to find a solution to superbugs," Mr Adams said. "That's because if you get sued the litigation all comes out of a central fund."

The Mr Adams in question is chief executive of Bioquell which makes a device that uses hydrogen peroxide to clean hospital rooms. He was quoted in the business pages of the Daily Telegraph.
