So the government have a set plan, which states more infection control nurses, patient screening deep cleaning and a campaign to cut antibiotic use.
Rather than blowing £57 million on a tokenistic attempt to win back public confidence in our hospitals, why not use that money and invest it in isolation wards, where nurses assigned to that ward would enforce strict hygiene rules.
A vaccine that could prevent against all flu out breaks, is being trialled on humans giving promising results.
This vaccine is made by Acambis, which should be able to protect against all strains of influenza A the cause of pandemics. At the moment the yearly winter flu jabs are being altered due to the fact that flue virus's keep changing.
According to BBC News this new vaccine could stop all viruses and can be put in place to prevent against bird flu outbreak.
The prime minister has stated that he is to tackle the rise of MRSA and C difficile that is flooding our hospitals.
Health secretary Alan Johnson stated that there is a deep cleaning program that will be a initiated later this week, but is this to little to late?
Where hospital infections abroad are much lower, should we adapt there policies on isolation wards first, because we could have the cleanest hospitals in the world but if you are placed in a bed next to some one who has not been screened then nothing will change and infection will still rise.

It is reported today that £100 million a year is wasted on pills to stop indigestion sufferers according to the BBC website.
Rather than handing out pills that do not eradicate the cause but just quell the problem, is there another solution?
My first choice would be my diet, what is it I am eating that is making my body behave in this manner, could it be to much gluten and sugar?
We all know that when you eat sugar it turns to yeast in your stomach and this can lead to inflammation in the stomach which can be very uncomfortable.
To defend against this you can eat plain yoghurt but not the yoghurt advertised on TV which I won't mention for legal reasons but it is full of sugar and defeats the whole purpose of taking the yoghurt in the first place.
Colonic hydrotherapy is also a very good treatment to prevent against indigestion due to it removing all toxins out of your system and cleansing the gut.
If these two methods still did not treat the indigestion problem, I would then look into Homeopathy which is based on how vaccinations work - meeting like with like, and makes the body work against the bacteria making your body stronger and less reliant on prescription drugs.
As our nation has fallen under a spell of stomach bugs and vomiting once again, we all wonder how these illnesses are able to spread so fast and why havn't we got a better approach to handling them.
Well there is an answer and it is called Ipicac. If you were to take Ipicac in its pure form, it would make you throw up faster than it went down.
Though when a small homoeopathic amount is placed on a sugar tablet it can alleviate any feeling of wanting to be sick.
This is one aspect of homeopathy, the acute remedy which brings instant relief to an urgent problem. There are many remedies which can be used in the same way to bring immediate relief and comfort at a time of acute need.
It seems to be a epidemic of vomiting and illness which is spreading over the country and GPs are telling patients to stay at home to quell the increase of sickness in the UK. This is covered on the BBC News website.
As we know Alternative medicine such as homeopathy supports many of our cancer suffers in this country. I know that alternative therapies support and comfort cancer patients due to my Farther Mark Blackwell having a rare tumour which took his life six months ago. As the NHS could not afford to support my farthers treatment and did not have the up to date technology in this country to deal with his treatment, homeopathy/ alternative medicine gave him the choice of not having to load him self up on high ammounts of morphine.
This choice is starting to be available for many other suffers not just cancer related, but people who do not want to be forced to quell there problems with heavy medication. In this democracy people should have a choice, not have there choice shattered by one mans opinion playing God.
If there talking about reactions to medication prescribed by homeopaths and peoples reactions to medication made by drug companies lets look at evidence because that would very interesting.
So is Sir David feeling threatened that he might not get the same amount of funding to operate one viewed health care system, why does it have to be one or the other why can't we have both. Sir David
The World Cancer Research Fund survey has issued a report today and there are clear findings to link obesity, and the British drinking culture is linked to cancer.
And it states that there is a direct relation between the extent of excessive weight and alcohol intake and the likelihood of falling victim to cancer.
The survey team has not carried out new research, but has reviewed 500,000 published papers from around the world, selecting the 7,000 most relevant and distilling their findings on cancer into a single report.
Survey chair Professor Sir Michael Marmot, professor of epidemiology and public health at University College London, said he was surprised at the strength of the link it established between weight and cancer risk.
And he said there was a "very clear message" from its findings for the general population: "Firstly, as you enter adulthood, don't put on weight. Secondly, if you are already overweight, it is likely that losing weight would lower your risk."
Prof Marmot told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "One of the surprises to me - as a relative non-cancer expert - is the importance of obesity and overweight.
"We have known about obesity and overweight in relation to cardio-vascular disease and diabetes. The idea that it is strongly linked to cancer, I think, is relatively new."
The direct link between increased weight and increased cancer risk was even stronger than that linking cigarettes with cancer, he suggested.
"With smoking, we know that if you smoke you increase your risk, but most smokers in the end don't get cancer, so it's not a one-to-one relation," he explained. "With obesity and overweight, it is very clear and it is a graded phenomenon. The more overweight you are, the more obese you are, the higher the risk of cancer
For over two hundred years the technique of hypnosis has been used in medicine to treat a wide range f physical, psychological and emotional disorders. It has also long been recognised that hypnosis may successfully be combined with other approaches and techniques in counselling and psychotherapy. In 1997, the united kingdom council for psychotherapy (UKCP) formally endorsed the new term, hypno-psychotherapy, as 'the branch of psychotherapy which uses hypnosis.
