'We need Florence Nightingale hygiene' - Telegraph
Extract:
"A coroner yesterday urged hospitals to return to practices common in the days of Florence Nightingale as official figures showed the number of elderly patients who contracted the deadly superbug Clostridium difficile rose steeply last year.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) said C. difficile infections among the over 65s increased by eight per cent to more than 55,000 last year."
