Chemsol again – sellers of disinfectant. Did they ever make their results available to hospitals seeking to verify the truth of their claims?
DANGEROUSLY high levels of the killer superbug MRSA have been found in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary following an Evening News investigation.
Samples recovered from wards and public areas reveal concentrations of MRSA up to four times above the accepted danger level.
Secret testing was carried out using sterilised slides coated with a special sticky gel on each side which were pressed on to surfaces within the flagship hospital.
The slides were provided by microbiology research firm Chemsol Group Ltd which oversaw the investigation, ensuring tests were carried out to professional standards. They were sealed and returned to Chemsol within 48 hours where subsequent laboratory examination revealed the presence of MRSA in eight out of ten samples.
