“…Neither did evidence from two plastic surgeons in New Zealand who identified that they did not have a single infection in the course of three years in the mother and baby unit they provided to treat conditions such as cleft lip palate, harelip and hypospadias (Pickerill and Pickerill, 1945). Likewise, a major review of the records of children admitted to 2 wards, in 14 hospitals, over an 11-month period showed no correlation between rates of cross infection and visiting (Watkins and Lewis-Faning, 1949). The real objection to visiting was of course the danger it posed to the traditional working practices of doctors and nurses.…”
