Bill Hanage’s comparison of Dutch and British approaches to MRSA (We can’t just scrub out this bug, March 3) dispels many of the myths surrounding MRSA. The challenge of reducing MRSA in the UK requires an approach that goes beyond hospital cleaners to address transmission. To think that “scrubbing up” hospitals will get rid of MRSA is too simplistic.
