MRSA
« Home Office | Back to most recent briefing | Prime Minister’s speech »
Asked by ITN if the Prime Minister agreed with the Department of Health (DoH) that the MRSA targets should be delayed or dropped, the PMOS asked who in the DoH had said that. The journalist said that there had been a memo written by a DoH official saying that MRSA targets should be delayed or dropped. The PMOS pointed out that that was not what the journalist had initially said, and the question was a piece of spin, and although he knew that broadcasters did not "do" spin, it was a disgraceful example! Andy Burnham had said this morning that of course, it was a difficult target, but it was meant to be difficult, but it was leading to real improvements on the ground. The PMOS said people should not, therefore denigrate those efforts by a disgraceful piece of spin.
