MRSA closes Ward

Sunday Life
A cancer ward at Belfast City Hospital had to be shut down for six days, following an outbreak of a stomach bug and a rise in MRSA cases, it has been revealed. The City’s new ‘rapid response’ cleaning team was sent to decontaminate the area, following the outbreak.
The ‘rapid response’ team is one of a number of new measures introduced in the war against MRSA at the City, which also includes the banning of flowers from wards.
