§ Mr. HoramThe Department is currently working with professional groups on the revision of clinical guidelines on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus issued to the national health service in September 1994. We have also commissioned the Royal College of Nursing to produce an education video and teaching pack on MRSA. In May 1996 the Department issued a leaflet on MRSA to health authorities, social services departments and nursing and residential homes.
Copies of the guidelines issued in 1994 and the leaflet on MRSA are available in the Library.
