Failure and leadership in the NHS

Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

A strong quote, but when the health secretary John Reid pledged MRSA rates would be halved by April 2008. It is a major failure for the NHS when these plans are not executed.

Here are some scary stats for you: In the last year 100,000 people who went into British hospital got an infection there. Of those, 5,000 died.

Perhaps the question is not ‘Should I worry about MRSA?’ but ‘How much should I worry?’
