The NHS don't seem to be using it

and more seriously, according to Defra, they are not using any
kind of tests on pigs despite the reports of pigs passing MRSA to
humans in Holland and elsewhere.

That is at best, gross negligence.

The NHS has no remit to go around testing pigs for MRSA. If OTOH
you are trying to say that Defra should be testing pigs for MRSA
then I don't think you have grasped the situation.

Stupid boy. You miss the point by about 2 universes as usual.

Now let's restore your stupid edit:

then I don't think you have grasped the situation.

If we complain and show our concern enough about the possible hidden
connections they soon will have, as will any other public body.

You're not making sense.

You are quite right, some would say that's nothing new! However I am
pleased you noticed the irregularity. I'll rephrase.

If the public let the powers that be know we are concerned about
MRSA,MSSA etc and will take any action necessary to ensure they do
their jobs to protect us, they'll soon start testing all possible
sources and rightly so. Leslie Ash has been a big wake up call to
them.

Our Pat is doing his bit. What are you doing to protect yourself or
your family from this in the future?
