The cleanliness of most NHS hospitals in England is threatened by frequent invasions of rats, fleas, bedbugs, flies and cockroaches, a report claims.
Figures released by the Conservatives show that 70% of NHS Trusts brought in pest controllers at least 50 times between January 2006 and March 2008.
Vermin were found in wards, clinics and even operating theatres. A patients' group said the situation was revolting.
But health chiefs played down fears the infestations could lead to disease.Of course, after all we all know that bedbugs and flies etc all wash themselves before entering the wards in order to stop MRSA/C. Diff.
Some examples of socialised medicine here in the UK:

Some more on how shit James Gordon Brown is...
