"shortcoming"[edit]

"There said to be shortcomings in way supplies were acquired and delays in getting supplies of the preferred disinfectant: 2% Chlorhexidine-based solution."

where is this sourced from? its good to attribute the claim to whoever made it. the sentence also needs copyediting.  — Doldrums(talk) 12:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sourced as indicated from the report pages 10 and 12

P10. However, although evidence-based, there was a delay in the availability of 2% Chlorhexidine-based solutions in the UK.

P12 The majority cited infection control staff as the key decision makers when deciding to purchase skin preparation products within their trusts. This is in line with Department of Health’s “Saving Lives” document and “Going further faster” guidance. We believe that the best policy is for the decision to be made by the professional with the best knowledge base, away from the pressures to constantly look for the cheapest option that just meets the need

I infer this to be critical of the minority of instances where decisions are made by non-professionals. Fentonrobb 12:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
