Bureaucracy is killing the NHS - and sometimes the patients - complains Sir Alistair Horne in an article in the Daily Telegraph of August 8th, 2006, and here is an extract from the article:
It didn't help that a report by Health Commission inspectors last month disclosed appalling lapses in basic hygiene at Wycombe's sister hospital, the once blue- chip Stoke Mandeville. They found filth on a Third World scale, including faeces on bedrails, and utility rooms cluttered with bags of waste. The report concluded that basic hygiene could have prevented hundreds of patients from being infected with Clostridium difficile - a bacterium so virulent that it had caused or contributed to 65 deaths.
