Yebbut since the treatment of MRSA is expensive ( unless of course they just
let the patient die) in the long run it would offset some of the cost.
<dons cynic hat> Of course they could use the income from the enforced
parking fees or Patientline ;-)

It's a bit more complex than mere dirt. As long as people - patients,
staff, visitors etc - are allowed inside hospitals, MRSA and other
anti-biotic resistant unfections will be around. Good
cleaning/disinfecting regimes may help but getting visitors, in
particular, to adhere to these practices is a nightmare.

But hospitals always had visitors. What they didn't used to have though was
staff outside/in public transport/shopping while wearing their uniforms.
Plus of course ( while I hate to say it, but it's true) the old style matron
and ward sister who could spot a speck of dirt at 100 yards :-)
