cute trusts must take notice: chances are you're going to be assessed against the Hygiene Code, so make sure you're, ready. We would much prefer to find that everything is in place to protect patients and the public." Lord Hunt, a health minister, said: "Reducing healthcare-associated infections is a top priority for the NHS and all NHS bodies have a duty to comply with the Code of Practice. The Commission are empowered to issue improvement notices... but these rigorous checks will ensure that Trusts adhere to the Code and will help to give patients the assurance that... everything possible is being done to keep infections to a minimum."

Andrew Lansley, Tory shadow Health Secretary, said: "Anything that reduces the risk of patients contracting MRSA or C-difficile is welcomed, but it is odd that it has taken Gordon Brown 10 years to introduce these unannounced checks, especially as it's been a period in which the number of deaths from MRSA has quadrupled."
