2 blatant MRSA lies

The DoH's pathetic statement in the article below "MRSA rates are falling - they're at their lowest level since recording began in 2001" contains two blatant lies in their desperation to cover their own fatal incompetence:
Lie Number One: MRSA was first discovered in 1964 and since it's infection can be fatal it is a "modifiable disease."
As the Lancet states in it's article on " Hospital infection past and present" stated:
In 1999, a UK NHS Executive Health Service Circular instructed health-care providers to strengthen the prevention and control of communicable disease and infection-control processes. Specifically they were asked to "put infection control and basic hygiene where they belong, at the heart of good management and clinical practice with appropriate resources": fine words, but actions speak louder than words.

Lie Number Two: Cases of MRSA have doubled not declined in the last 4 years of labour's misrule- please see the independent National Audit Offices report at:
