Irish hospitals brought to book

Link: The Dublin People Group of Newspapers - Irish hospitals brought to book.

She aimed to uncover how the superbug MRSA could plague so many Irish hospitals and reveal the real truths behind that bone of contention - co-location. “The book should have taken about 18 months but I wanted to bring it out before the general election so I managed to do it in nine gruelling months,” she told Northside People. “I guess you could say it came out of the work I was previously doing as a health analyst. I also belong to the Health Services Action Group which campaigns to maintain smaller hospitals in Ireland.” According to Marie, the book deals with a lot of burning issues. “There is a chapter on the MRSA bug called the ‘Killing Wards’,” she explained. “I uncovered how patients who have the bug are treated in beds right next to those who haven’t been infected in some intensive care units (ICU).
