London hospital thrown into chaos after ?Ebola patient? walks into casualty
The case was a false alarm but illustrates the state of unpreparedness of hospitals in the UK.
Unprepared, ?panicking? staff at Lewisham hospital allowed the patient to use communal toilets and to have visitors, despite the risk of infecting others, insiders claimed this weekend.
Staff failed to follow correct procedures to deal with the deadly virus, despite high-profile NHS drills supposed to demonstrate that British hospitals are ready.
--------------------------
Meantime, the British government has ordered half a million Ebola suits for British forces and health workers
The suits ordered by the British government will be used to protect 750 Forces personnel in Sierra Leone.
Flights carrying the first consignment of suits left RAF Kemble in Gloucestershire last Monday
