I COULDN'T agree more with the comments of your recent letter writer Maureen Arnfield and D Bradbury re hospital laundry.

As a former nurse I see going back to hospital laundries as one of the best ways to eradicate the spread of infection rife in hospitals today.

Nurses should revert to changing uniforms, so helping to prevent the spread of infection.

I realise this would put extra cost on the NHS but in the long term it could prevent further problems re infection spread.
